This problem was set up as a small-scale benchmark problem. The optimal solution contains a singular arc, making the Lotka Volterra fishing problem an ideal candidate for benchmarking of algorithms.

In this problem the Lotka Volterra equations for a predator-prey system have been augmented by an additional linear term, relating to fishing by man.

Model dimensions and properties

Lotka Volterra fishing problem


The model has the following dimensions:


\begin{array}{rcl}
n_x &=& 3\\
n_z &=& 0\\
n_u &=& 0\\
n_w &=& 1\\
n_p &=& 0\\
n_{\rho} &=& 0\\
n_c &=& 0\\
n_{r^\mathrm{i}} &=& 0\\
n_{r^\mathrm{e}} &=& 3
\end{array}

It is thus an ODE model with a single integer control function. The interior point equality conditions fix the initial values of the differential states.

Mathematical formulation

For t \in [t_0, t_f] the mixed-integer optimal control problem is given by


\begin{array}{llcl}
 \displaystyle \min_{x, w} & x_2(t_f)   \\[1.5ex]
 \mbox{s.t.} & \dot{x}_0(t) & = & x_0(t) - x_0(t) x_1(t) - \; c_0 x_0(t) \; w(t), \\
 & \dot{x}_1(t) & = & - x_1(t) + x_0(t) x_1(t) - \; c_1 x_1(t) \; w(t),  \\
 & \dot{x}_2(t) & = & (x_0(t) - 1)^2 + (x_1(t) - 1)^2,  \\[1.5ex]
 & x(0) &=& x_0, \\
 & w(t) &\in&  \{0, 1\}.
\end{array}

Initial values and parameters

These fixed values are used within the model.


\begin{array}{rcl}
t_0 &=& 0\\
t_f &=& 12\\
c_0 &=& 0.4\\
c_1 &=& 0.2\\
x_0 &=& (0.5, 0.7, 0)^T
\end{array}

Source Code

  double ref0 = 1, ref1 = 1;                 /* steady state with u == 0 */
 
  rhs[0] =   xd[0] - xd[0]*xd[1] - p[0]*u[0]*xd[0];
  rhs[1] = - xd[1] + xd[0]*xd[1] - p[1]*u[0]*xd[1];
  rhs[2] = (xd[0]-ref0)*(xd[0]-ref0) + (xd[1]-ref1)*(xd[1]-ref1);

Miscellaneous

The Lotka Volterra fishing problem was introduced by Sebastian Sager in a proceedings paper <bibref>Sager2006</bibref> and revisited in his PhD thesis <bibref>Sager2005</bibref>. These are also the references to look for more details.
