Introduction
1.1
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.
