Benchmark Libraries

Embedded Optimization and Control

• European FP 7 project EMBOCON

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.
• The COPS library contains around 10 dynamic control and parameter estimation problems

MINLP

• CMU-IBM Cyber-Infrastructure for MINLP collaborative site
• MINLPlib ^[1]
