The Isomerization of Alpha-Pinene problem tries to determine "reaction coefficients in the thermal isometrization of $\alpha$ -Pinene." (Cite and problem taken from the COPS library)

Mathematical formulation

The problem is given by

$\begin{array}{llcl} \displaystyle \min_{\theta} &\sum\limits_{j=1}^{8} &&||y(\tau_j; \theta) - z_j||^2 \\[1.5ex] \mbox{s.t.} & \dot{y}_1 & = & -(\theta_1 + \theta_2) y_1, \\ & \dot{y}_2 & = & \theta_1 y_1, \\ & \dot{y}_3 & = & \theta_2 y_1 - (\theta_3 + \theta_4) y_3 + \theta_5 y_5, \\ & \dot{y}_4 & = & \theta_3 y_3, \\ & \dot{y}_5 & = & \theta_4 y_3 - \theta_5 y_5, \\ & \theta_i & \geq & 0. \end{array}$
