This category includes all subcategories that implement the MIOCP in a specific format of a solver. These may of course be very different, depending on the particular approach to algorithmically solve the control problem.

MIOCPs include features related to different mathematical disciplines. Hence, it is not surprising that very different approaches have been proposed to analyze and solve them. There are three generic approaches to solve model-based optimal control problems, compare [Binder2001]Author: T. Binder; L. Blank; H.G. Bock; R. Bulirsch; W. Dahmen; M. Diehl; T. Kronseder; W. Marquardt; J.P. Schl\"oder; O.v. Stryk

Link to Google Scholar: first, solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and in a discrete setting Dynamic Programming, second indirect methods, also known as the first optimize, then discretize approach, and third direct methods (first optimize, then discretize) and in particular all-at-once approaches that solve the simulation and the optimization task simultaneously. The combination with the additional combinatorial restrictions on control functions comes at different levels: for free in dynamic programming, as the control space is evaluated anyhow, by means of an enumeration in the inner optimization problem of the necessary conditions of optimality in Pontryagin's maximum principle, or by various methods from integer programming in the direct methods.

Even in the case of direct methods, there are multiple alternatives to proceed. Various approaches have been proposed to discretize the differential equations by means of shooting methods or collocation, e.g., [Bock1984]Address: Budapest

Link to Google Scholar for more comprehensive surveys. The main purpose of mentioning them is to point out that they all discretize the optimization problem in function space in a different manner, and hence result in different mathematical problems that are actually solved on a computer.

Powerful commercial MILP solvers and advances in MINLP solvers make the usage of general purpose MILP/MINLP solvers more and more attractive. Please be aware however that the MINLP formulations we provide in some of the categories are only one out of many possible ways to formulate the underlying MIOCP problems.
