Abstract

This work is a study on left-invariant, drift-free optimal control problem on SU(3) Lie group. The control objective is to minimize a cost function and satisfy the given dynamical constraints. The stability analysis of the resulting restricted dynamics is detailed. Also, numerical integration via two unconventional methods, Kahan’s integrator and Lie–Trotter integrator, is performed. A comparison between these two methods along with the conventional 4th-step Runge–Kutta method is thus presented.
