The double tank problem is a basic example for a switching system. It contains the dynamics of an upper and a lower tank, connected to each other with a pipe. The goal is to minimize the deviation of a certain fluid level 
in the lower tank. The problem was introduced and discussed in a variety of publications for the optimal control of constrained switched systems, e.g. Henrion et al. and Vasudevan et al.

\end{array}](https://mintoc.de/images/math/b/f/1/bf130a0c53967bbbbe3baa830c510a61.png)
The two states of the system correspond to the fluid levels of an upper and a lower tank.
The output of the upper tank flows into the lower tank, the output of the lower
tank exits the system, and the flow into the upper tank is restricted to either 
[lt/s]
or 
[lt/s]. The dynamics in each mode are then derived using Torricelli’s law, as
shown in constraints 1 and 2. The objective of the optimization is to have the fluid level in the
lower tank equal to [m], as reflected in the cost function.

Reference Solution
The problem was solved in Matlab (version 2014b) with Switch. The switch codes rely on GloptiPoly 3 and the solver SeDuMi 1.3 (optimization over symmetric cones).
By introducing the lifts 
, algebraically constrained as 
the problem is recast with polynomial data. In this way way switch in connection with GloptiPoly3 can be applied. GloptiPoly 3 is a Matlab package developed by Didier Henrion for generalized problems of moments and needs polynomial input data. The exact code used to solve the problem can be found under Double Tank Problem (switch). The calculated objective is 4.7296 with the following trajectories of states and controls:
