Problem setup

% Array with consecutive number of collocation points
narr = [20 40];

toms t t_f % Free final time

for n=narr

    p = tomPhase('p', t, 0, t_f, n);
    setPhase(p)

    tomStates x1 x2
    tomControls u1

    % Initial & terminal states
    xi = [0;  0];
    xf = [31; 0];

    % Initial guess
    if n==narr(1)
        x0 = {t_f == 2; icollocate({x1 == xi(1); x2 == xi(2)})
            collocate({u1 == 0})};
    else
        x0 = {t_f == tfopt; icollocate({x1 == xopt1; x2 == xopt2})
            collocate({u1 == uopt1})};
    end

    % Box constraints
    cbox = {1 <= t_f <= 10};

    % Boundary constraints
    cbnd = {initial({x1 == xi(1); x2 == xi(2)});
        final({x1 == xf(1); x2 == xf(2)})};

    % ODEs and path constraints
    v = 9;
    % No water motion in x1 direction
    dx1 = v*cos(u1);
    % Water motion in x2 direction: 5*sin(pi*x1/31)
    dx2 = v*sin(u1)+5*sin(pi*x1/31);

    ceq = collocate({
        dot(x1) == dx1
        dot(x2) == dx2});

    % Objective
    objective = t_f;
