GEKKO is an extension of the APMonitor Optimization Suite but has integrated the modeling and solution visualization directly within Python. A mathematical model is expressed in terms of variables and equations such as the Hock & Schittkowski Benchmark Problem #71 [2] used to test the performance of nonlinear programming solvers.
Given a transformation between input and output values, described by a mathematical function, optimization deals with generating and selecting the best solution from some set of available alternatives, by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set, computing the output of the function and recording the best output values found during the process.
The SciPy scientific library, for instance, uses HiGHS as its LP solver [13] from release 1.6.0 [14] and the HiGHS MIP solver for discrete optimization from release 1.9.0. [15] As well as offering an interface to HiGHS, the JuMP modelling language for Julia [ 16 ] also describes the specific use of HiGHS in its user documentation. [ 17 ]
OR-Tools was created by Laurent Perron in 2011. [5]In 2014, Google's open source linear programming solver, GLOP, was released as part of OR-Tools. [1]The CP-SAT solver [6] bundled with OR-Tools has been consistently winning gold medals in the MiniZinc Challenge, [7] an international constraint programming competition.
PARI/GP is a computer algebra system that facilitates number-theory computation. Besides support of factoring, algebraic number theory, and analysis of elliptic curves, it works with mathematical objects like matrices, polynomials, power series, algebraic numbers, and transcendental functions. [3]
Konopasek's goal in inventing the TK Solver concept was to create a problem solving environment in which a given mathematical model built to solve a specific problem could be used to solve related problems (with a redistribution of input and output variables) with minimal or no additional programming required: once a user enters an equation, TK ...
Constraint programming (CP) [1] is a paradigm for solving combinatorial problems that draws on a wide range of techniques from artificial intelligence, computer science, and operations research. In constraint programming, users declaratively state the constraints on the feasible solutions for a set of decision variables.
In artificial intelligence and operations research, constraint satisfaction is the process of finding a solution through a set of constraints that impose conditions that the variables must satisfy. [1] A solution is therefore an assignment of values to the variables that satisfies all constraints—that is, a point in the feasible region.
