TOMVIEW /NPSOL

The TOMVIEW /NPSOL toolbox efficiently integrates the well-known solvers developed by the Stanford Systems Optimization Laboratory (SOL) with LabVIEW and TOMVIEW.

The toolbox includes:

  • The dense general constrained nonlinear solver NPSOL®,
     
  • The sparse constrained linear least squares solver LSQR,
     
  • The dense constrained linear least squares solver LSSOL and
     
  • The dense constrained nonlinear least squares solver NLSSOL, based on NPSOL®.
     
  • Read more about the above mentioned SOL solvers, as well as the TOMVIEW /MINOS solvers MINOS and QPOPT, at the SBSI-SOL Home page.
     
  • TOMVIEW /NPSOL includes all LabVIEW code and solvers that are part of TOMVIEW /MINOS, see the description of TOMVIEW /MINOS.
     

Main features

  • The codes are implemented to efficiently handle sparse arrays.
     
  • All solver parameters and features are selectable.
     
  • It is possible to use warm starts for the SOL solvers, and further speed up sequences of optimization solutions.
     
  • NPSOL® has been used intensively in control applications because of its speed and robustness.
     
  • LSSOL, NPSOL® and NLSSOL all may be used as sub problem solvers for other TOMVIEW solvers.
     
  • The SPECS file input format is also possible to use.
     
  • NPSOL® and NLSSOL may estimate derivatives internally, faster than using the TOMVIEW method.
  • NPSOL® is a registered Trademark of Stanford University
