Overview

Welcome to the TOMLAB /MINLP User's Guide. TOMLAB /MINLP includes a suite of 4 solvers in dense and sparse version and interfaces between The MathWorks' MATLAB and the MINLP solver package. The solver package includes the following solvers:

bqpd - For sparse and dense linear and quadratic programming (nonconvex).

filterSQP - For sparse and dense linear, quadratic and nonlinear programming.

minlpBB - For sparse and dense mixed-integer linear, quadratic and nonlinear programming.

miqpBB - For sparse and dense mixed-integer linear and quadratic.

Please visit http://tomopt.com/tomlab/products/minlp/ for more information.

The interface between TOMLAB /MINLP, Matlab and TOMLAB consists of two layers. The first layer gives direct access from Matlab to MINLP, 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 MINLP. 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.
