[Ipopt] Ipopt Digest, Vol 98, Issue 19

Hello,
There is also an interface for IPOPT in our open source software 
FreeFem++ (http://www.freefem.org/ff++/index.htm). The software is designed
for solving EDP by the finite elements method, but it can also be used 
for some other tasks. It has its own language which is nearly a subset 
of c with some features of its own. Though, the call to IPOPT is 
simplified and you don't have to play with the c++ part.
I don't know what are exactly the non-linear system you're playing with, 
but you can visit the web page our feel free to ask me any question to 
see if it could fit your needs.

Best regards,

Sylvain
