Abstract

To handle a type of optimum control problems (OCP) for systems controlled described by Volterra integro-differential equations (VIDE)‎, ‎we introduce in this study a direct Chebyshev wavelet collocation approach‎, ‎which ‎‎is utilized in applied science and engineering‎. ‎The proposed direct approach turns the OCP ‎into a ‎‎‎nonlinear‎ programming (NLP) ‎problem‎, ‎in which the wavelet coefficients are the optimization variables‎. ‎To solve the ‎‎resulting NLP‎, ‎we use the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique‎. ‎In addition‎, ‎we illustrate the suggested method's convergence‎. ‎Under certain sufficient conditions‎, ‎it is shown that a sequence of optimal solutions for the finite-dimensional optimization problems corresponding to P approximates the optimal solution of the original problem P in a desirable manner‎. ‎To demonstrate the method's applicability and efficiency‎, ‎we provide several numerical examples that emphasize the PSO algorithm's effectiveness in solving the resulted NLP.
