Subject: MOSQP v1.0 has been released
We are happy to announce that version 1.0 of the MultiObjective
Sequential Quadratic Programming (MOSQP) solver has been released.
MOSQP is a multiobjective optimization solver for bound, linear, and
nonlinear constrained problems (for which the derivatives of the
objective functions and constraints are available).
The algorithm performs Sequential Quadratic Programming type
iterations to build an approximation to the Pareto front.
MOSQP makes use of derivative information of the objective functions
and constraints to build quadratic models from which search directions
are obtained. It has been shown to be efficient and robust for a large
set of bound and constrained multiobjective optimization problems.
The code is written in MATLAB and it provides an interface with AMPL.
For more information, check out the solver website:
