CONOPT—A Large-Scale GRG Code

Abstract: CONOPT is a generalized reduced-gradient (GRG) algorithm for solving large-scale nonlinear programs involving sparse nonlinear constraints. The paper will discuss strategic and tactical decisions in the development, upgrade, and maintenance of CONOPT over the last 8 years. A verbal and intuitive comparison of the GRG algorithm with the popular methods based on sequential linearized subproblems forms the basis for discussions of the implementation of critical components in a GRG code: basis factorizations, sear… Show more

“…Since lim x→−∞ f (x) = 0 and f (x 1 ) < 0, there exists x 2 ∈ (−∞, x 1 ) such that f (x 1 ) < f (x 2 ) < 0 and f (x 2 ) < 0, which contradicts (3.14). 4 The positivity and the decreasing property follows directly from 2. To prove the strict convexity we show the following inequality:…”

“…We used GAMS [11] as a modeling system with DICOPT [16] as a MINLP solver. We selected CPLEX [18] as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) solver and CONOPT [4,5] as a nonlinear programming (NLP) solver both called internally from DICOPT in solving subproblems. GAMS has built-in support for various special math functions including the regularized gamma function, the regularized beta function, and the standard normal c.d.f., which cover all of our cases.…”

“…The program was run on a Linux cluster box of four 2.6 GHz Pentium 4 processors with 8 GB memory. TestUniq and TestOpt were solved using GAMS/CONOPT 3 (Drud, 1994). GAMS/BARON 7.5 (Tawarmalani and Sahinidis, 2004) and the EMU representation were also used whenever possible to ensure global optimality during the verification process.…”

“…We conduct computational experiments, and assess the benefit of our cutting plane approach in comparison with the global optimization solver over polynomials GloptiPoly [7], the global optimization solver BARON [24], and the nonlinear programming (NLP) solver CONOPT [4]. GloptiPoly, which builds up a hierarchy of SDP relaxations (see [15]), successfully provides a globally optimal solution of small-size problems.…”
