GAMS/LGO Nonlinear Solver Suite: Key Features, Usage, and Numerical Performance
نویسنده
چکیده
The LGO solver system integrates a suite of efficient global and local scope optimization strategies. LGO can handle complex nonlinear models under ‘minimal’ (continuity) assumptions. The LGO implementation linked to the GAMS modeling environment has several new features, and improved overall functionality. In this article we review the solver options and the usage of GAMS/LGO. We also present reproducible numerical test results, to illustrate the performance of the different LGO solver algorithms on a widely used global optimization test model set available in GAMS.

متن کاملComparison of Some High-Performance MINLP Solvers
In this paper some high-performance mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) solvers in GAMS (General Algebraic Modeling System) are evaluated. AlphaECP, Baron, Dicopt and SBB are the MINLP (mixed integer non-linear programming) solvers in focus. A large test set with 250 problems is used and special attention is given to a new GAMS solver, GAMS/AlphaECP, which has recently been included in...

متن کاملComplementarity problems in GAMS and the PATH solver
A fundamental mathematical problem is to "nd a solution to a square system of nonlinear equations. There are many methods to approach this problem, the most famous of which is Newton's method. In this paper, we describe a generalization of this problem, the complementarity problem. We show how such problems are modeled within the GAMS modeling language and provide details about the PATH solver,...
