Discrete control functions: 3
Interior point equalities: 2

This site describes a Double tank problem variant with three binary controls instead of only one control.

Mathematical formulation

The mixed-integer optimal control problem is given by


\begin{array}{llll}
 \displaystyle \min_{x,w} &  \displaystyle \int_{0}^{T} & k_1(x_2-k_2)^2  \; \text{d}t\\[1.5ex]
 \mbox{s.t.} &  \dot{x}_1 & = \sum\limits_{i=1}^{3} c_{i}\; w_i,-\sqrt{x_1}, \\[1.5ex]
 &  \dot{x}_2 & = \sqrt{x_1}-\sqrt{x_2}, \\[1.5ex]
 &  x(0) & = (2,2)^T, \\[1.5ex]
& 1 & = \sum\limits_{i=1}^{3}w_i(t), \\
 & w_i(t) &\in  \{0, 1\}, \quad i=1\ldots 3.
\end{array}


Parameters

These fixed values are used within the model.

 T=10, c_1=1, c_2=0.5, c_3=2, k_1=2, k_2=3.

Reference Solutions

If the problem is relaxed, i.e., we demand that w(t) be in the continuous interval [0, 1] instead of the binary choice \{0,1\}, the optimal solution can be determined by means of direct optimal control.

The optimal objective value of the relaxed problem with  n_t=12000, \, n_u=100  is 2.59106823. The objective value of the binary controls obtained by Combinatorial Integral Approimation (CIA) is 2.59121008.
