The Hanging chain problem is concerned with finding a chain (of uniform density) of length 
suspendend between two points 
with minimal potential energy. (Problem taken from the COPS library)
Mathematical formulation
The problem is given by
Failed to parse (syntax error): \begin{array}{llcl} \displaystyle \min_{x, u} & x_2(t_f) \\[1.5ex] \mbox{s.t.} & \dot{x}_1 & = & u, \\ & \dot{x}_2 & = & x_1 (1+u^2)^{1/2}, \\ & \dot{x}_3 & = & (1+u^2)^{1/2), \\ \end{array}
Parameters
In this model the parameters used are \begin{array}{rcl} [t_0, t_f] &=& [0, 1],\\ (a,b) &=& (0.4, 0.2),\\ Lp &=& 4. \end{array}
