About:
Ipopt (Interior Point Optimizer) is an open-source software package for large-scale nonlinear optimization. It is designed to solve general convex and nonconvex continuous optimization problems, including those with thousands of variables and constraints. Its main value is providing a robust and efficient solver for complex mathematical programming tasks.
Key Features:
  • Solves large-scale nonlinear optimization problems
  • Implements interior-point algorithm
  • Supports sparse matrix algebra
  • Interfaces with modeling languages like AMPL and GAMS
Use Cases:
  • Engineering design optimization
  • Economic modeling and scheduling
  • Parameter estimation in scientific computing
Alternatives:
  • NLopt – NLopt provides a wider variety of global and local optimization algorithms, while Ipopt specializes in interior-point methods for large-scale problems.
