Synthesis of Optimal Nonlinear Feedback Laws for Dynamic Systems Using Neural NetworksOpen-loop solutions of dynamical optimization problems can be numerically computed usingexisting software packages. The computed time histories of the state and control variables, formultiple sets of end conditions can then be used to train a neural network to 'recognize' the optimal,nonlinear feedback relation between the states and controls of the system. The 'learned' network canthen be used to output an approximate optimal control given a full set (or a partial set) of measuredsystem states. With simple neural networks, we have successfully demonstrated the efficacy of theproposed approach using a minimum-time orbit injection problem. The usefulness and limitations ofthis novel approach on real-life optimal guidance and control problems, with many state and control variables as well as path inequality constraints, remain to be seen.
