[This post has been delayed due to email problems - moderator] KNITRO for Mathematica, a new application package for large-scale nonlinear optimization, is now available for download from the Wolfram web store. Complete with active-set and interior-point algorithms within a local solver, it solves general nonlinear constrained, linear programming, quadratic programing, unconstrained, and least squares problems, as well as systems of nonlinear equations. Key features include: * Newton-based methods, including BFGS, SR1, and L-BFGS, that rapidly converge to high-precision local solutions * An option requiring that every iterate is feasible with respect to inequality constraints and variable bounds * Easy crossover from interior-point to active-set algorithms for determining vertex solutions * Linear algebra operations for iterative (conjugate gradient) and direct (sparse factorization) methods * Automatic starting-point selection Developed and supported by Ziena Optimization, Inc., KNITRO for Mathematica requires Mathematica 5.1 or higher for Windows, Linux, or Sun Solaris platforms. A 30% discount will be applied to all purchases made before June 30, 2006. More information about KNITRO for Mathematica is available at: http://www.wolfram.com/applications/knitro ###
