1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

Welcome to the TOMVIEW /SNOPT User's Guide. TOMVIEW /SNOPT includes a wide range of solvers for use in NI's LabVIEW. The suite includes the following solvers:

MINOS - For large-scale sparse general nonlinear programming problems.

QPOPT - For dense convex quadratic programming problems.

SNOPT - For large-scale, sparse, linear and nonlinear programming.

SQOPT - For sparse linear and quadratic programming.
