This project aims at creating a productive research environment for development of optimization methods and at spreading modern optimization practice in Swedish industry. This is done by collecting state-of-the-art portable optimization routines as well as optimization problems and keeping them available in a network of work stations. This obviously will facilitate research, but through our projects and through making the routines available for testing, we also fulfill the other goal.
A partial list of routines include:
| MINOS, SNOPT, QPOPT, LSSOL, NPOPT | (Gill et al, Stanford and UCSD) |
| CPLEX | (Cplex Corporation) |
| MMA | (Svanberg, KTH) |
| GRG2 | (Lasdon, U Texas) |
| RELAX | (Bertsekas, MIT) |
| NETFLO, NETSIDE | (Kennington, S Methodist U) |
| NLPQL | (Schittkowski, U Bayreuth) |
| NOA3 | (Kiwiel, Polish Academy of Sciences) |
| RSDNET, RSDTA | (Hearn, U Florida) |
| GAMS | (GAMS) |
| ELSUNC, ENLSIP | (Umeå University) |
The routines reside in a Unix workstation environment, in which we have written an interfaces to Matlab for several routines, thereby making them easy to use. These interfaced routines have been used extensively, both in our own research and for educational purposes.
