CMU-IBM Open Source MINLP Project

CMU-IBM
Open source MINLP Project

Goal of this project is to produce novel open source software for solving mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLP) with convex relaxation.

The main objectives of this effort are:
(i)	a new publicly available library of test instances of convex MINLPs
(ii)	a new software package bonmin that contains classical methods such as branch-and-bound and outer approximation, and a new family of hybrid algorithms of which branch-and-bound and outer-approximation are two extreme cases
(iii)	the new framework is open source and uses existing software in COIN-OR. In particular Clp, Cbc and Ipopt are used as building blocks.
(iv)	computational results on the new and other available libraries of test problems.
