Mathematical formulation

$\begin{array}{llclr} \min_{z, u, t_{f}} & t_{f} \\ s.t. & {\dot{z}}_{1} & = & z_{2}, \\ {\dot{z}}_{2} & = & u, \\ z (0) & = & (0, 0)^{T}, \\ z (t_{f}) & = & (300, 0)^{T}, \\ z_{1} (t) & \in & [0, 33], \\ z_{2} (t) & \in & [0, 330], \\ u (t) & \in & [- 2, 1] . \end{array}$

where $z = (z_{1}, z_{2})^{T}$ .
