Abstract
The numerical solution of optimal control problems by indirect methods (such as multiple shooting or collocation) usually requires a considerable amount of analytic calculation to establish a numerically tractable system. The reason for that is that certain steps in the analytical preparation of the calculation, which are simple in principle, may be very elaborate and can lead to rather complex expressions. Implementation of these into numerical code by hand is tiresome and error-prone.
