[Ipopt] Is IPOPT ok for small quadratic problem ?

[Antonello Lobianco]

Hello,
I develop in C++ a scientific model where I already use IPOPT (together
with ADOL-C and ColPack) to solve a large nonlinear problem.

Now I need, in an other part of the model, to solve many (~10,000 per
simulation year) small quadratic problems of this form:

min
  sum_i sum_j  a_{i,j} x_i x_j
s.t.
  sum_i x_i = 1
  x_i >= 0
  sum_i x_i b_i = c

with i=j ~ 10 and a_{i,j} >=0 for i = j


Do you suggest me to use IPOPT also for these problems or would it be
better to use a solver that is specialized in small quadratic programming
(little initialisation costs) ?

Thanks,
  Antonello
