1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
Welcome to the TOMLAB /CONOPT User's Guide. TOMLAB /CONOPT includes the
CONOPT NLP solver from Arki Development and Consulting A/S and
provides an interface to The MathWorks' MATLAB.
CONOPT is a feasible path solver based on the old proven GRG
method with many newer extensions. CONOPT has been designed to be
efficient and reliable for a broad class of models. The original GRG
method helps achieve reliability and speed for models with a large
degree of nonlinearity, i.e. difficult models, and CONOPT is often
preferable for very nonlinear models and for models where
feasibility is difficult to achieve.
1.2 Contents of this Manual
- Section 1 provides a basic overview of the CONOPT
solver.
- Section 2 provides an overview of the Matlab interface
to CONOPT .
- Section 3 describes how to set CONOPT solver
options from Matlab.
- Section 4 gives detailed information about
the interface routine conoptTL .

1.4 Prerequisites
In this manual we assume that the user is familiar with nonlinear
programming, setting up problems in TOMLAB (in particular constrained
nonlinear (
con) problems) and the Matlab language in
general.
