A Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Problem Algorithm to Control Finite State Machines using Branch and Bound

The dynamics of a large variety of systems such as micro-grids and parallel hybrid cars can be described using finite state machines. The optimal control of these systems leads to mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problems. This class of problems typically belongs to the non-deterministic polynomial-time hard problems since they combine both the computational intensity of solving proble...
