Abstract

Following GAMS' recent acquisition of CONOPT from ARKI Consulting & Development A/S, this presentation delves into the continuous evolution of this robust nonlinear optimization solver, emphasizing the advancements introduced in the latest release and the strategic implications of the new ownership.

The latest iteration of CONOPT introduces new APIs, e.g, for C++ and Python, opening up new possibilities for a clean, efficient, and robust integration into various software environments and projects requiring nonlinear optimization.

Finally, we will demonstrate the practical application of providing derivatives to CONOPT, an important step that is often necessary to achieve the best possible performance.
