In order to solve the contradiction between approximation accuracy and computation time of control vector parameterization (CVP) method
a control vector parameterization method based on pseudo Wigner-Ville time-frequency analysis is proposed. The method first gives a small number of meshes for the first optimization iteration
and quickly obtains the approximate trajectory of the control variables. Then
through the pseudo Wigner-Ville analysis
the influence of the instantaneous frequency change of the mesh nodes on the performance index is obtained
and the original mesh nodes are reconstructed based on above analysis
including the elimination and refinement of the time nodes. And then combined with the variable time node CVP method
the corresponding time nodes with the maximum instantaneous frequency are used as parameters
which are optimized together with the control variables to find accurate time switching points. Three classical chemical reaction examples are used to verify the proposed method. The calculation results show that compared with the traditional CVP method and literature results
the proposed method can reconstruct the time grid more effectively and find more accurate time switching points
leading to lower calculation cost and more accurate solution.
