Abstract: Optimal control problems arise in many applications and need suitable numerical methods to obtain a solution. The indirect methods are an interesting class of methods based on the Pontryagin’s minimum principle that generates Hamiltonian Boundary Value Problems (BVPs). In this paper, we review some general-purpose codes for the solution of BVPs and we show their efficiency in solving some challenging optimal control problems.
