Incorrect dimensions for matrix multiplication

[mcamurri]

Thanks for sharing the code with the research community!

The solution proposed by @Highlight123 in #8 seems not to be working for me.

I'm using MATLAB 2023b on Windows 10 Enterprise

• I have installed YALMIP by downloading the zipped master branch and adding the corresponding folders to the MATLAB path, as explained here
• I have installed IPOPT by unzipping the content of the windows zip file found in the packages folder and adding it to the MATLAB path as well.

When running the test.m example file, I encounter the following error when the MPC-CBF portion of the code is executed:

Run DCLF-DCBF

Is there any other place where to look for an IPOPT version that works on Windows?

Update 1

I have just installed matlab on Ubuntu 20.04, used the Ipopt zip file provided for linux, and installed the YALMIP master according to instructions.

And I've got the exact same problem:

The only code that succeeds is the first part of test.m where DCLF-DCBF is executed.

Update 2 and Solution

The problem is indeed caused by IPOPT not being able to find a feasible solution.

I solved by looking for a YALMIP release that was closer to the date of publication of the ACC 2021 paper.

The release R20210331 worked for me on Matlab 2023b and Ubuntu 20.04.

I had applied some other fixes to be able to use all scripts, see #13 #14 and #15

Please specify in your README.md the correct version of YALMIP to use.
