. An optimal trajectory does exist for all initial and terminal values in a vicinity of the origin. As Fuller showed, this optimal trajectory contains a bang-bang control function that switches infinitely often.

The mathematical equations form a small-scale ODE model. The interior point equality conditions fix initial and terminal values of the differential states.

Mathematical formulation

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


\begin{array}{llcl}
 \displaystyle \min_{x, w} &  \int_{0}^{1} x_0^2 \; \mathrm{d} t \\[1.5ex]
 \mbox{s.t.} & \dot{x}_0(t) & = & x_1(t), \\
 & \dot{x}_1(t) & = & 1 - 2 \; w(t), \\[1.5ex]
 & x(0) &=& x_S, \\
 & x(t_f) &=& x_T, \\
 & w(t) &\in&  \{0, 1\}.
\end{array}

Parameters

We use x_S = x_T = (0.01, 0)^T.

Reference Solutions

Solutions obtained with optimica

The solution found for the relaxed Fuller's problem with optimica using the solver Ipopt (with the linear solver MA27) is obtained with 12 iterations and the objective is 1.5296058259296967e-05.
