Possible bug with coneprog?
Show older comments
I am wondering if this is a bug in coneprog or expected behavior. The example used to reproduce this is from https://www.mathworks.com/help/optim/ug/discretized-optimal-trajectory-cone-programming.html . When the code below is run as is then the expected result is outputted. However, when a "dummy" constraint is added (by uncommenting the two lines in the setupproblem function) that has nothing to do with the original it changes the answer signicantly.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

I think that you have identified a problem with the default options for trajectory problems: the optimality tolerance should be chosen smaller than default. If you run the problem with a tighter optimality tolerance, ther results look better, and look pretty much the same with or without your dummy variables.
p0 = [0 0 0];
pF = [5 10 3];
trajprob = setupproblem(20);
opts = optimoptions('coneprog','Display','iter','OptimalityTolerance',1e-10);
[sol,fval,eflag,output] = solve(trajprob,options=opts)
plottrajandaccel(sol,p0,pF)
function trajectoryprob = setupproblem(T,air)
if nargin == 1
air = false;
end
N = 50;
g = [0 0 -9.81];
p0 = [0 0 0];
pF = [5 10 3];
Amax = 25;
t = T/N;
p = optimvar("p",N,3);
v = optimvar("v",N,3);
a = optimvar("a",N-1,3,"LowerBound",-Amax,"UpperBound",Amax);
trajectoryprob = optimproblem;
s = optimvar("s",N-1,"LowerBound",0,"UpperBound",3*Amax);
trajectoryprob.Objective = sum(s)*t;
scons = optimconstr(N-1);
for i = 1:(N-1)
scons(i) = norm(a(i,:)) <= s(i);
end
acons = optimconstr(N-1);
for i = 1:(N-1)
acons(i) = norm(a(i,:)) <= Amax;
end
vcons = optimconstr(N+1,3);
vcons(1,:) = v(1,:) == [0 0 0];
if air
vcons(2:N,:) = v(2:N,:) == v(1:(N-1),:)*exp(-t) + t*(a(1:(N-1),:) + repmat(g,N-1,1));
else
vcons(2:N,:) = v(2:N,:) == v(1:(N-1),:) + t*(a(1:(N-1),:) + repmat(g,N-1,1));
end
vcons(N+1,:) = v(N,:) == [0 0 0];
pcons = optimconstr(N+1,3);
pcons(1,:) = p(1,:) == p0;
if air
pcons(2:N,:) = p(2:N,:) == p(1:(N-1),:) + t*(1+exp(-t))/2*v(1:(N-1),:) + t^2/2*(a(1:(N-1),:) + repmat(g,N-1,1));
else
pcons(2:N,:) = p(2:N,:) == p(1:(N-1),:) + t*v(1:(N-1),:) + t^2/2*(a(1:(N-1),:) + repmat(g,N-1,1));

I will update the example in the documentation.
