A neighboring extremal solution for an optimal switched impulsive control problem

This paper presents a neighboring extremal solution for a class of optimal switched impulsive control problems with perturbations in the initial state, terminal condition and system's parameters. The sequence of mode's switching is pre-specified, and the decision variables, i.e. the switching times and parameters of the system involved, have inequality constraints. It is assumed that the active status of these constraints is unchanged with the perturbations. We derive this solution by expanding the necessary conditions for optimality to first-order and then solving the resulting multiple-point boundary-value problem by the backward sweep technique. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate this solution method.
