Problem Formulation

Find u over t in [0; 5 ] to minimize

$J=x_{3}(t_{F})$

subject to:

${\frac {dx_{1}}{dt}}=x_{2}$

${\frac {dx_{2}}{dt}}=-10*x_{1}-5*x_{2}-2*x_{1}(t-tau)-x_{2}(t-tau)+u$

${\frac {dx_{3}}{dt}}=0.5*(10*x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+u^{2})$

$tau=0.25$

The initial condition are:

$x(t<=0)=[1\ 1\ 0]$

$-inf<=u<=inf$

Problem setup

toms t
p1 = tomPhase('p1', t, 0, 5, 50);
setPhase(p1);

tomStates x1 x2 x3
tomControls u

% Initial guess
x0 = {icollocate({x1 == 1
    x2 == 1; x3 == 0})
    collocate(u == 0)};

% Boundary constraints
cbnd = initial({x1 == 1; x2 == 1; x3 == 0});

% Expressions for x1(t-tau) and x2(t-tau)
tau = 0.25;
x1delayed = ifThenElse(t<tau, 1, subs(x1,t,t-tau));
x2delayed = ifThenElse(t<tau, 1, subs(x2,t,t-tau));

% ODEs and path constraints
ceq = collocate({dot(x1) == x2
    dot(x2) == -10*x1 - 5*x2 - 2*x1delayed - x2delayed + u
    dot(x3) == 0.5*(10*x1.^2+x2.^2+u.^2)});

% Objective
objective = final(x3);

Solve the problem

options = struct;
options.name = 'Time Delay 1';
solution = ezsolve(objective, {cbnd, ceq}, x0, options);
t  = subs(collocate(t),solution);
u  = subs(collocate(u),solution);
