Optimal Control Problem with CasADi on null-controllability of the network system

The aim of this work is to use CasADi and IpOpt to simulate optimal control problem, which explains the structural controllability of the 2D heat equation. We use finite difference scheme with the uniform grid to test exact controllability of the 2D heat equation. After that, we delete several interactions between grid points and simulate the controllability with smaller number of controlled points.

Optimal strategies for guidance-by-repulsion model with IpOpt and AMPL

In this post, we use IpOpt and AMPL to simulate optimal controls on a nonlinear ODE system with unbounded interactions. The restriction and initial guess on the state variables are critical for this problem to operate minimization algorithm. From the data calculated from AMPL, we interpret and visualize it using Matlab.
