This page is part of the SOL Manual. See SOL.

The SOL solvers are a set of Fortran solvers that were developed by the Stanford Systems Optimization Laboratory (SOL). <xr id="tab:solSolvers" /> lists the solvers included in TOMLAB /SOL. The solvers are called using a set of MEX-file interfaces developed as part of TOMLAB. All functionality of the SOL solvers are available and changeable in the TOMLAB framework in Matlab.

Detailed descriptions of the TOMLAB /SOL solvers are given in the following sections. Also see the M-file help for each solver.

The solvers reference guides for the TOMLAB /SOL solvers are available for download from the TOMLAB home page http://tomopt.com. There is also detailed instruction for using the solvers in SOL Using the SOL Solvers in TOMLAB. Extensive TOMLAB m-file help is also available, for example help snoptTL in Matlab will display the features of the SNOPT solver using the TOMLAB format.

Function Description
The SOL optimization solvers in TOMLAB /SOL.
MINOS 5.5 Sparse linear and nonlinear programming with linear and nonlinear constraints.
LP-MINOS A special version of the MINOS 5.5 MEX-file interface for sparse linear programming.
QP-MINOS A special version of the MINOS 5.5 MEX-file interface for sparse quadratic programming.
LPOPT 1.0-10 Dense linear programming.
QPOPT 1.0-10 Non-convex quadratic programming with dense constraint matrix and sparse or dense quadratic matrix.
