Although a\u0000variety of these algorithms has been proposed and used successfully, there\u0000exists a gap in understanding the key differences and advantages, which we aim\u0000to provide in this work. For constrained DDP, we choose methods that\u0000incorporate nolinear programming techniques to handle state and control\u0000constraints, including Augmented Lagrangian (AL), Interior Point, Primal Dual\u0000Augmented Lagrangian (PDAL), and Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers.\u0000Both DDP and SQP are provided in single- and multiple-shooting formulations,\u0000where constraints that arise from dynamics are encoded implicitly and\u0000explicitly, respectively. In addition to reviewing these methods, we propose a\u0000single-shooting PDAL DDP. As a byproduct of the review, we also propose a\u0000single-shooting PDAL DDP which is robust to the growth of penalty parameters\u0000and performs better than the normal AL variant. We perform extensive numerical\u0000experiments on a variety of systems with increasing complexity towards\u0000investigating the quality of the solutions, the levels of constraint violation,\u0000iterations for convergence, and the sensitivity of final solutions with respect\u0000to initialization. The results show that DDP often has the advantage of finding\u0000better local minima, while SQP tends to achieve better constraint satisfaction.\u0000For multiple-shooting formulation, both DDP and SQP can enjoy informed initial\u0000guesses, while the latter appears to be more advantageous in complex systems.\u0000It is also worth highlighting that DDP provides favorable computational\u0000complexity and feedback gains as a byproduct of optimization.","PeriodicalId":501286,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - MATH - Optimization and Control","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142254601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
