TOMLAB /MINOS
Description
The TOMLAB /MINOS toolbox efficiently integrates the three
well-known solvers MINOS, QPOPT, and LPOPT, developed by the
Stanford
Systems Optimization Laboratory (SOL), with Matlab and Tomlab.
-
MINOS is a large-scale sparse general nonlinear solver, but solves
also sparse linear and quadratic problems efficiently.
-
QPOPT is a dense convex quadratic solver that also solves non-convex
quadratic programs.
- LPOPT is a special version of QPOPT that solves dense linear programming
problems efficiently.
For more information about TOMLAB /MINOS see the TOMLAB /MINOS User's Guide.
Main features
- Other Tomlab solvers are using MINOS, QPOPT and LPOPT as subproblem solvers resulting in faster and more robust code compared to only using the Tomlab Base Module.
- The dense QPOPT code is implemented to efficiently handle Matlab sparse arrays.
- Using the Tomlab graphical interface (GUI) 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.
- In Tomlab /MINOS the mixed-integer linear programming solver mipSolve runs much faster than in the Tomlab Base Module due to the use of MINOS (or LPOPT) as linear subproblem solver with warm starts.
- The SPECS file input format, that is used by all SOL solvers when running non-Matlab, is also possible to use.
