Developments in optimization theory, including emphasis on large
problems and on interior-point methods for linear programming, have
begun to appear in production software. Here is a reference tool
that includes discussions of these areas and names software
packages that incorporate the results of theoretical research.
After an introduction to the major problem areas in optimization
and an outline of the algorithms used to solve them, a data sheet
is presented for each of the 75 software packages and libraries in
the authors' survey. These include information on the capabilities
of the packages, how to obtain them, and addresses for further
information. Standard optimization paradigms are addressed -
linear, quadratic, and nonlinear programming; network optimization;
unconstrained and bound-constrained optimization; least-squares
problems; nonlinear equations; and integer programming. The most
practical algorithms for the major fields of numerical optimization
are outlined, and the software packages in which they are
implemented are described. This format will aid current and
potential users of optimization software in classifying the
optimization problem to be solved, determining appropriate
algorithms, and obtaining the software that implements those
algorithms. Readers need only a basic knowledge of vector calculus
and linear algebra to understand this book.
