Benchmark Libraries

Hybrid Systems

• HYCON network: two benchmark problems have been defined.

Optimal Control

• The PROPT homepage (a matlab toolkit for dynamic optimization using collocation) states over 100 test cases from different applications with their results and computation time.
• With the software package dsoa come currently 77 test problems.
• The ESA provides a test set of global optimization spacecraft trajectory problems and their best putative solutions.
