Smooth Interpolation-Based Fixed-Final-Time Command Generation

This paper proposes a command generation approach based on the smooth interpolation without twist constraints and the input-output relation developed by the generalized model predictive static programming. Commands are efficiently generated to achieve the desired terminal condition at a specified final time in an interpolative manner featuring a noniterative nature. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated through three different simulation studies including a double integrator benchmark, a soft lunar landing problem, and a cluster missile guidance problem.
