Ipopt is an open-source solver for large-scale nonlinear continuous optimization. It can be used from modeling environments, such as AMPL, GAMS, or Matlab, and it is also available as callable library with interfaces to C++, C, and Fortran. Ipopt uses an interior point method, together with a filter linear search procedure. 简单来说,这是一个求解大规模连续非线性规划问题的求解器,IPOPT使用的算法是内点法。这个软件支持AMPL和GAMS的模型,也支持Matlab,并且提供了C++,C和Fortran的接口。

PackageRequired/OptionalBlas Required (any implementation)Lapack Optional (any implementation)Ampl Solver Library OptionalA sparse linear solver (MA27, MA57, WSMP, Pardiso, MUMPS)Required (at least one)

我们看到,BLAS和一个稀疏线性求解器是必须的,LAPACK和AMPL都是可选的。因为这些软件都是免费的,官方网站直接可以下载,所以建议都下载尝试一下。
