title = "Iterative five-element lyapunov control for low thrust rendezvous with modified chebyshev picard iteration",
abstract = "We present an iterative five-element Lyapunov control for low thrust rendezvous that uses Modified Chebyshev Picard Iteration (MCPI), an iterative solver of linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). MCPI uses Chebyshev polynomials to approximate the orbital trajectory and then uses Picard iteration to improve the approximation iteratively. We discuss simulations of two rendezvous test cases, which illustrate the effectiveness of this method as a computationally cheap alternative to relatively expensive optimal control solutions.",
