1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
Welcome to the TOMLAB /MINOS User's Guide. TOMLAB /MINOS includes
a set of solvers and MATLAB embedded interfaces. The solver
package includes binaries for the following solvers:
MINOS - For large-scale sparse general nonlinear programming
problems.
LP-MINOS - For large-scale sparse linear programming problems.
QP-MINOS - For large-scale sparse quadratic programming problems.
LPOPT - For dense linear programming problems.
QPOPT - For dense convex quadratic programming problems.
Please visit
http://tomopt.com/tomlab/products/minos/ for more
information.
The interface between TOMLAB /MINOS, Matlab and TOMLAB consists
of two layers. The first layer gives direct access from Matlab
to MINOS, via calling one Matlab function that calls a
pre-compiled MEX file (DLL under Windows, shared library in UNIX)
that defines and solves the problem in MINOS . The second layer
is a Matlab function that takes the input in the TOMLAB format,
and calls the first layer function. On return the function creates
the output in the TOMLAB format.
1.2 Contents of this Manual
- Section 2 gives the basic information needed to
run the Matlab interface.
- Section 3 provides all the solver
references for MINOS, LP-MINOS, QP-MINOS, LPOPT and QPOPT.
- Section 4 discusses the use of TOMLAB /MINOS in
more detail.
1.3 Prerequisites
In this manual we assume that the user is familiar with MINOS, the
MINOS Reference Manual, TOMLAB and the Matlab language.
