Abstract:
A method for calculating a solution to a three-objective control allocation problem, comprising:(a) defining a solution space which contains a polytope that represents an optimal solution of said three-objective control allocation problem;(b) transforming the problem to align a desired objective with a first of a plurality of axes;(c) rotating the polytope about said first axis;(d) creating a projection of said rotated polytope in a two-dimensional plane;(e) rotating the polytope about a second of said plurality of axes which is normal to said two-dimensional plane;(f) identifying an edge of intersection of said first axis with the projected polytope;(g) generating at least one candidate solution from the identified edge;(h) repeating steps (c)-(g) a predetermined number of times to identify an optimal solution to the three-objective control allocation problem.
