In this paper, a numerical method for solving nonlinear quadratic optimal control problems with inequality constraints is presented. The method is based upon cardinal Hermite interpolant multiscaling function approximation. The properties of these multiscaling functions are presented first. These properties are then utilized to reduce the solution of the nonlinear constrained optimal control to a nonlinear programming one, to which existing algorithms may be applied. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the technique.
