1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
Welcome to the TOMLAB /GP (Geometric Programming) User's Guide.
TOMLAB /GP includes the a geometric programming solver package and a
convenient interface to The MathWorks' MATLAB.
The following sections describe the algorithm and TOMLAB format in
more detail. There are several test problem included with the TOMLAB
distribution that illustrates the use. The following example will
create and run the first test case.
Prob = probInit('gp_prob', 1);
Result = tomRun('GP', Prob, 1);
1.2 Contents of this Manual

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