KW - Meta-heuristic algorithms, ant colony optimization, optimal control problems. 

AB -  Ant  algorithm  optimization  is  used  to  solve  a  general  class  of  optimal  control  problems  with 
single  input  control.  The  discretized  form  of  the optimal  control problem  is  converted  to  a quasi quadratic 
assignment problem in the time-control space. By applying the ant optimization algorithm on this problem, a 
piece-wise  constant  approximation  is  obtained  for  the  optimal  control.  Implementation  of  the  method  and 
numerical results are also discussed.
