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"): {\displaystyle \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 are measurements for the concentration for at time points and initial conditions are known.
