Methanol to Hydrocarbons problem
Algebraic states: 3
Continuous control values: 5

The Methanol to Hydrocarbons problem tries to determine "reaction coefficients for the conversion of methanol into various hydrocarbons." (Cite and problem taken from the COPS library)


Mathematical formulation

The problem is given by

Failed to parse (unknown function "\bigleft"): \begin{array}{llcl} \displaystyle \min_{\theta} &\sum\limits_{j=1}^{16} &&||y(\tau_j; \theta) - z_j||^2 \\[1.5ex] \mbox{s.t.} & \dot{y}_1 & = & -\bigleft( 2 \theta_2 - \frac{\theta_1 y_2}{(\theta_2 + \theta_5) y_1 + y_2} + \theta_3 + \theta_4 \bigright) y_1, \\ & \dot{y}_2 & = & \theta_1 y_1^2 - \theta_2 y_2. \\ \end{array}

Parameters

The values  z_j are measurements for the concentration for  y at time points  \tau_1, ..., \tau_{21} and initial conditions are known.
