(a) Approximate solution for 1D slewing maneuver, generated by 50 iterations of a particle swarm optimizer. (b) Optimal control solution for the same maneuver, generated by DIDO (running in accurate mode). Total required cpu time for solution: 148 sec using only DIDO, with no initial guess; 76 sec for the combined PSO-DIDO solution.
