Symplectic discretizations for optimal control problems in mechanics

The optimal control of mechanical problems is omnipresent in our technically affected daily living as well as in many scientific questions. As analytical solutions of optimal control problems are in general not available, applications rely on numerical simulations that are robust and accurate, and directly utilizable by engineers. For general ...
