This page contains a solution of the energy minimization of the Hanging chain problem in GEKKO Python format. The GEKKO package is available with pip install gekko. The Python code uses orthogonal collocation and a simultaneous optimization method. The end point constraints are imposed as soft constraints (objective terms).
