TOMLAB -- An Environment for Solving Optimization Problems in MATLAB

TOMLAB is a general purpose, open and integrated MATLAB environment for solving optimization problems on UNIX and PC systems. TOMLAB has meny systems and driver routines for the most common optimization problems and more than 50 algorithms implemented in the toolbox NLPLIB and the toolbox OPERA. NLPLIB TB 1.0 is a MATLAB toolbox for nonlinear programming and parameter estimation and OPERA TB 1.0 is a MATLAB toolbox for operational research, with emphasis on linear and discrete optimization. Of special interest in NLPLIB TB 1.0 are the algorithms for general and separable nonlinear least squares parameter estimation. TOMLAB is using MEX-file interfaces to call solvers written in C/C++ and FORTRAN. Currently MEXfile interfaces have been developed for the commercial solvers MINOS, NPSOL, NPOPT, NLSSOL, LPOPT, QPOPT and LSSOL. From TOMLAB it is also possible to call routines in the MathWorks Optimization Toolbox. Interfaces are available for the model language AMPL and the CUTE (Cons..
