    The demand for model-based simulation and optimization solutions requires the availability of software frameworks that not only provide computational capabilities, but also help to ease the formulation and implementation of the respective optimal control problems. In this article, we present and discuss recent development efforts and applicable work flows using the example of MUSCOD, the … Read more

    In this contribution we address the efficient solution of optimal control problems of dynamic processes with many controls. Such problems arise, e.g., from the outer convexification of integer control decisions. We treat this optimal control problem class using the direct multiple shooting method to discretize the optimal control problem. The resulting nonlinear problems are solved … Read more
