The control-toolbox ecosystem gathers
The root package is OptimalControl.jl which aims to provide tools to model and solve optimal control problems with ordinary differential equations by direct and indirect methods.
Tip
From the documentation, you can find tutorials to define and solve optimal control problems with OptimalControl.jl.
See also some applications of OptimalControl.jl:
- Examples from calculus of variations
- Optimal control in Medical Resonance Imaging
- Orbit transfer from space mechanics
- ... and more
Installation ©
To install OptimalControl.jl please open Julia's interactive session (known as REPL) and press ] key in the REPL to use the package mode, then add the package:
julia> ]
pkg> add OptimalControlNote
Sometimes the above command can fail due to the default Julia registry ('General') not being installed for some reason. You can check that the registry is installed with
pkg> registry st
Registry Status
[23338594] General (https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git)If the General registry is missing, simply add it
pkg> registry add Generalthen retry the add command.
The control-toolbox hierarchy includes:
- OptimalControl.jl: main package
- CTBase.jl: fundamentals of the control-toolbox ecosystem
- CTDirect.jl: direct transcription of an optimal control problem and resolution
- CTFlows.jl: classical flow, Hamiltonian flow, flow from optimal control problem
