Description

Minimize the time taken for a robot arm to
travel between two points.

This model is from the COPS benchmarking suite.
See http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~more/cops/.

The number of discretization points can be specified using the command
line parameter --nh. COPS performance tests have been reported for nh
= 50, 100, 200, 400
