Features in AMPL

• Several algorithms for different types of optimization.
   
• Fully sparsified code, capable of handling large, sparse problems. The codes are implemented to efficiently handle sparse arrays.
   
• Batch-applications are easily created and interfaced to Matlab.
   
• All solver parameters and features are possible set from specification files or command line.
   
• Advanced use of standardized formats for solver input and output, making is possible to define the user problem once, and use all suitable solvers suitable to solve the problem.
   
• Easy to use solvers for AMPL from other programming languages and hook up custom solutions.
   
• Robust solution of ill-conditioned nonlinear least squares problems with linear constraints using several different solver options.
   
• For more information, see the description of each of the different products.
   
• The AMPL FAQ has many more details about features and answers to many common questions.
