Mathematical formulation

$\begin{array}{lll} \displaystyle \min_{u} & \displaystyle &-x_1(t_N)^2 \\[1.5ex] \mbox{s.t.} & \displaystyle \dot{x}_0 &= -k_0x_0-(k_2+k_3+k_4)x_0x_1\\ & \displaystyle \dot{x}_1 &= k_0x_0-k_1x_1 + k_2x_0x_1\\ & \displaystyle k_i &= a_i e^{-u\frac{b_i}{R}},\quad \forall i\in \{1,\dots,5\} \\ [1.5ex] & \displaystyle t &\in \left[t_0,t_N\right] \\ & \displaystyle u(t) &\in \left[698.15/748.15,1\right]\\ & \displaystyle x(t_0) &= (1,0)^T\\ \end{array}$

where this is the normalized form with

$u(t)= \frac{1}{u_{temp}}$, with

$u_{temp} \in \left[698.15,748.15\right]$
