Notes:
A new and simple algorithm based on the piecewise maximization of the Hamiltonian and a limiting process utilizing a penalty function of the control variables for the computation of suboptimal singular and/or bang-bang control, previously developed and applied to linear lumped systems in Part I, is tested on four typical nonlinear lumped and distributed systems of particular chemical engineering interest. The computational results have shown that the proposed algorithm is a very effective method for solving singular and/or bang-bang control problems with high state dimensionality, extreme nonlinearity, and multiple controls.
