OPTI Toolbox Wiki

If you are interested in optimization, use MATLAB and like free stuff, OPTI could be for you. See theWhat Is OPTI section for details on solving linear, nonlinear, continuous and discrete optimization problems using MATLAB!

OPTI Toolbox v2.23 Released

on December 28, 2016, at 12:46 PM

Version 2.23 has just been released with minor updates. Changes include:

Updated documentation to match move to Inverse Problem Limited
Rebuilt all solvers against MKL v11.3 R4
Updated IPOPT to 3.12.6
Updated ASL to v20160922, including VSBuild for auto compilation
Updated nomadset to latest spec (C. Tribes)
Fixed bug where maxnodes instead of maxiter was used for BARON maxiter setting.
Fixed bug where x0 as a matrix could be supplied as solve(opt,x0) and skip error generation.
[API Change] Changed return codes for constraint linearity in ASL interface

OPTI Toolbox Academic Version Online

written by Jonny on December 28, 2016, at 12:21 PM

The academic version of OPTI Toolbox is back online. The process to download it is as follows:

Download the Open Source Version from here.
Download the Academic Extension from here, and following the instructions on this page to install it.

While this is now a two-step process, it simplifies obtaining small changes via Git for the majority of users.

OPTI Toolbox has moved!

written by Jonny on December 21, 2016, at 02:16 PM

As I have now left AUT, I have moved OPTI into our start-up company. This change means very little for the OPTI community, other than a new web address, and the mailing list has been deleted. I've also taken the chance to change the Wiki skin for a bit of variation.

One change to note however is that GitHub will become the primary download location for OPTI (including MEX files) - no more download forms for the open source version. For Academic users, a patch will be provided (asap) to add SCIP. More details to follow.

OPTI Toolbox v2.22 Released

written by Jonny on September 19, 2016, at 04:02 PM

Version 2.22 has just been released with minor updates. Changes include:

Added suggestion to rethrow errors when function testing (V. Pericoli)
Fixed handling of very large QP problems (skips non-convex checks)
Fixed excessive memory when checking of symmetric/tril/triu Hessians by using builtin MATLAB routines (H. Mittelmann)
[API Change] Changed symbset interface to now only accept optiset options via 'optiOpts' field.

Wiki Fixed!

written by Jonny on June 15, 2016, at 02:37 PM

Apologies while our Wiki was down. Something went wrong with one of the add-ins (BlogIt) and it took a while to track and fix.

OPTI Downloads should be available again.

OPTI Toolbox v2.21 Released

written by Jonny on May 22, 2016, at 06:05 PM

Version 2.21 has just been released with minor updates. Changes include:

Fixed bug where fixed binary variables were written as normal binary variables in MPS files
Fixed bug where binary variables were not handled correctly by intlinprog
Fixed bug where SNLE problems not handled correctly by MATLAB solvers
Increased precision in writing MPS files
Updated coinRead to correctly identify binary variables

White Box Optimization

written by Jonny on May 22, 2015, at 08:55 PM

I've had a few questions regarding White Box optimization using solvers like SCIP and BARON, so I have written a Wiki page explaining how they work with OPTI. Grab a cup of coffee and have a read.

Solvers

The OPTI Toolbox forms an 'umbrella' over a suite of open source and free academic solvers, most of which are included (and compiled for Windows) as part of the toolbox download.

Supplied Solvers

Below is a list of the solvers supplied with OPTI, grouped by the problem types they can solve. Click a solver name to view more information about it.

Interfaced Solvers

Below is a list of the solvers interfaced (connected, but not supplied) to OPTI, grouped as above. Apart from the MATLAB solvers, most others are available under an unrestrictive free academic license.
