OptimalControlProblems.jl
The OptimalControlProblems.jl package is part of the control-toolbox ecosystem and is independent of OptimalControl.jl. The control-toolbox ecosystem brings together Julia packages for mathematical control and its applications. Its purpose is to provide tools to model and solve optimal control problems governed by ordinary differential equations, using both direct and indirect methods, on CPU and GPU.
If you would like to define and solve your own optimal control problem, please refer to the OptimalControl.jl documentation.
In OptimalControlProblems.jl, you will find a collection of optimal control problems modelled with JuMP and OptimalControl. These problems can be used for benchmarking.
Installation
To install OptimalControlProblems.jl, please open Julia’s interactive session (known as the REPL) and use the Julia package manager:
