[Coin-ipopt] Announcement: IPOPT Additional Features

[Victor M Zavala]

Hi all,

I would like to announce the incorporation of the "Additional Features"
section to the IPOPT project. Visit
https://projects.coin-or.org/Ipopt/wiki/IpoptAddFeatures for more details.
The idea is to motivate the users to submit contributions that could expand
the application scope of IPOPT. As a first example, we have incorporated a
warm-starting feature for AMPL users. IPOPT is now able to retrieve and
receive values for the variable bound multipliers from AMPL which might lead
to better warm-starting strategies. Some other features to be released in
the (very) near future include a post-optimal analysis toolbox able to
perform NLP sensitivity calculations and able to extract range and null
space information from the full-space primal-dual system. The AMPL
warm-starting capability has been incorporated to the current trunk version
(Thanks Andreas). In order to make this a permanent feature, please let us
know your experiences. 

Stay tuned for future features and feel free to submit yours.

Best regards,
