Problem setup

toms t
p = tomPhase('p', t, 0, 2, 60);
setPhase(p);

tomStates x1 x2 x3 x4
tomControls u1 u2
x = [x1;x2;x3;x4];
u = [u1;u2];

m1 = 1.0; m2 = 1.0; c1 = 1.0; c3 = 1.0;
c2 = 2.0; k1 = 3.0; k2 = 3.0; k3 = 3.0;

B = [0 0; 1/m1 0;
    0 0; 0 1/m2];

A = [0 1 0 0;...
    1/m1*[-(k1+k2) -(c1+c2) k2 c2];...
    0 0 0 1;...
    1/m2*[ k2 c2 -(k2+k3) -(c2+c3)]];

x0i = [5; 0; 10; 0];
xfi = [0; 0;  0; 0];

% Box constraints
cbox = {0 <= collocate(u) <= 9};

% Boundary constraints
cbnd = {initial(x == x0i)
    final(x == xfi)};

% ODEs and path constraints
ceq = collocate(dot(x) == A*x+B*u);

% Objective
objective = integrate(u1+u2);

Solve the problem

options = struct;
options.name = 'Spring Mass Damper';
solution = ezsolve(objective, {cbox, cbnd, ceq}, [], options);
t  = subs(collocate(t),solution);
x1 = subs(collocate(x1),solution);
x2 = subs(collocate(x2),solution);
x3 = subs(collocate(x3),solution);
x4 = subs(collocate(x4),solution);
u1 = subs(collocate(u1),solution);
u2 = subs(collocate(u2),solution);
