%0 Journal Article %T Real-Time Sequential Convex Programming for Optimal Control Applications %A Tran Dinh Quoc %A Carlo Savorgnan %A Moritz Diehl %J Mathematics %D 2011 %I arXiv %X This paper proposes real-time sequential convex programming (RTSCP), a method for solving a sequence of nonlinear optimization problems depending on an online parameter. We provide a contraction estimate for the proposed method and, as a byproduct, a new proof of the local convergence of sequential convex programming. The approach is illustrated by an example where RTSCP is applied to nonlinear model predictive control. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1105.3427v1
