AMPL /SNOPT

The AMPL /SNOPT toolbox efficiently integrates the well-known solvers developed by the Stanford Systems Optimization Laboratory (SOL) with AMPL.

The toolbox includes:

  • The sparse general nonlinear solver SNOPT,
     
  • The sparse positive convex quadratic solver SQOPT,
     
  • Read more about the above mentioned SOL solvers, as well as the AMPL /MINOS solvers MINOS and QPOPT, at the SBSI-SOL Home page.
     
  • AMPL /SNOPT includes all DOS code and solvers that are part of AMPL /MINOS, see the description of AMPL /MINOS.
     
  • For a general description of the AMPL features, see the AMPL FEATURES.
     
  •   Main features

    • The codes are implemented to efficiently handle DOS sparse arrays.
       
    • All solver parameters and features are selectable.
       
    • It is easy to use warm starts for the SOL solvers, and further speed up sequences of optimization solutions.
       
    • SNOPT has shown to be very fast and robust, e.g. in industrial plant optimization.
       
    • SNOPT and SQOPT may be used as sub problem solvers for other AMPL solvers.
       
    • SNOPT is also suitable to use for both dense and sparse non-linear systems of equations and nonlinear least squares.
       
    • The SPECS file input format is also possible to use.
