SOL Using the Matlab Interface

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

The main routines in the two-layer design of the interface are shown in #Table: The interface routines.. Page and section references are given to detailed descriptions on how to use the routines.

Table: The interface routines.

Function	Description
minos	The layer one Matlab interface routine, calls the MEX-file interface minos.dll
minosTL	The layer two interface routine called by the TOMLAB driver routine tomRun. This routine then calls minos.m.
minosLPTL	The layer two TOMLAB interface routine that calls minosLPTL.m. Converts the input Prob format before calling minos.m and converts back to the output Result structure. This option only handles linear programming problems.
minosQPTL	The layer two TOMLAB interface routine that calls minosQPTL.m. Converts the input Prob format before calling minos.m and con- verts back to the output Result structure. This option only handles quadratic programming problems
lpopt	The layer one Matlab interface routine, calls the MEX-file interface lpopt.dll
lpoptTL	The layer two interface routine called by the TOMLAB driver routine tomRun. This routine then calls lpopt.m.
qpopt	The layer one Matlab interface routine, calls the MEX-file interface qpopt.dll
qpoptTL	The layer two interface routine called by the TOMLAB driver routine tomRun. This routine then calls qpopt.m.
lssol	The layer one Matlab interface routine, calls the MEX-file interface lssol.dll
lssolTL	The layer two interface routine called by the TOMLAB driver routine tomRun. This routine then calls lssol.m.
nlssol	The layer one Matlab interface routine, calls the MEX-file interface nlssol.dll
nlssolTL	The layer two interface routine called by the TOMLAB driver routine tomRun. This routine then calls nlssol.m.
npsol	The layer one Matlab interface routine, calls the MEX-file interface npsol.dll
npsolTL	The layer two interface routine called by the TOMLAB driver routine tomRun. This routine then calls npsol.m.
snopt	The layer one Matlab interface routine, calls the MEX-file interface snopt.dll
snoptTL	The layer two interface routine called by the TOMLAB driver routine tomRun. This routine then calls snopt.m.
sqopt	The layer one Matlab interface routine, calls the MEX-file interface sqopt.dll
sqoptTL	The layer two interface routine called by the TOMLAB driver routine tomRun. This routine then calls sqopt.m.

The SOL control parameters are possible to set from Matlab.

They can be set as inputs to the interface routine minos for example and the others. The user sets fields in a structure called Prob.SOL.optPar, where the subfield names follow the SOL standard for setting solver options. The following example shows how to set the maximum number of iterations.

Prob.SOL.optPar(30)     = 500;        % Setting maximum number of iterations
