Mathematical formulation

$\begin{array}{ll}\underset{u}{\min }& -x_1(t_N{)}^2\\ \text{s.t.}& {\dot{x}}_0(t)=-k_0{x}_0(t)-(k_2+k_3+k_4)x_0(t)x_1(t)\\ & {\dot{x}}_1(t)=k_0{x}_0(t)-k_1{x}_1(t)+k_2{x}_0(t)x_1(t)\\ & k_i=a_i{e}^{-u(t)\frac{b_i}{R}},\mathrm{\forall }i\in \{1,\dots ,5\}\\ [1.5ex]& t\in [t_0,t_N]\\ & u(t)\in [698.15/748.15,1]\\ & x(t_0)=(1,0{)}^T\\ \end{array}$

where this is the normalized form with

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

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