We group the solvers nto “linear” and “nonlinear” types according tothe typeof problem for which they are primarily used, Linear solvers ‘These solvers all handle linear optimization problems in both continuous and integer variables. Their performance is nota the level of analogous commercial solvers, but canbe suficient for problems that are no oo large or dificult. COIN-OR under the Eclipse Public License; available as source code and binaries for nus, SA-bit Linux, OS X, 32-bit Windows and 64:bit Windows, GLPK — trom the GNU Project under the GNU General Public License; available as source coe, Includes an open-source subset of AMPL features, |p_salve — ffom SourceForge under the GNU Library General Public License; avilable as sourcecode and binaries Nonlinear solvers ‘The solver in this category seek solutions to problems involving smooth nonlinear functions such as powers, logs, and ratios. They differ inthe algorithms that ‘hey offer, and hones in thoi effectiveness for different problem types, Duo tothe dtfculty of nonlinear optimization, these solvers ate effective with smaller problems than thei liner counterparts nop! — from COIN-OR under the Eclipse Public License; available as source cade and binaries for 32-bit Linus, bit Linus, OS X, 32-bit Windows and St iL Windows. Finds locally optima solutions to continuous nonlinear problems, using an interior-point rscthod, ‘Bonmin — from COIN-OR under the Eclipse Public License; available as source code and binaries for 32-bit Linux, 64-bit Linux, OS X, 82-bit Windows and ‘Lr Windows. Finds globally optimal solutions to convex nonlinear problems in continuous and discrete variables, and may be applied heuristically to onconvex problems, ‘Couenne — fiom COIN-OR under the Felipse Public License; available as soun wl binaves foe 32-bit Linus, 68-bit Linux, OS, ‘542i, Windows, Finds globally optimal solutions to nonlinear problems in continuous and discrete variables, regardless of convexity. Jit Windows and Constraint programming solvers ‘Those solvers bande consttaiat programming problems usualy in diserete variables. They suppoxt a wide variety of constant ypes that may contain nonlinear sn logical expressions. Constraint programming solvers can he more efficient than MIP solves for some kinds of combinatorial opimization problems Gecode — under the MIT lense; available as sourse code and binaries for 32-bit Linus, 64-bit Linus, OSX, 22-bit Windows and 64-bit Windows. {1aCoP — under the GNU Aero General Public License; available as source cde and binaries for 32-bit Linus, 64-bit Linux, OSX, 22-bit Windows and 63-bit Windows NEOS solvers ‘The kacteel sragram allows using remote NEOS solvers with AMPL running on your local machine, Invoked in the same way as other AMPL solvers, Kestrel send the problem toa solver running on one ofthe NEOS Server's remote computers. The results from the NEOS Server are eventually returned through Kestrel to AMPL, where you can view and manipulate them locally inthe usual way. Thus You get all the benefits of using AMPL environment, without having to first obtain and install each solver you want tory: Kestrel is provided fee of charge and evailabe fr download fom the Run AMPL on NEOS page.
