[Ipopt] MATLAB interface for IPOPT and AMPL models

[Gianpaolo Gulletta]

Hi Tony,

Sorry I am trying to use Yalmip as you suggested, but I could not find a way
to translate a .mod / .dat file into Matlab syntax. 
Could you please post an example?
Thank you.

Gianpaolo.

No. The Matlab interface requires you to implement objective and constraint
functions, gradient and Jacobian functions, and optionally the Hessian of
the Lagrangian, all as Matlab functions. You can use a modeling environment
like Yalmip (or CVX maybe? I don't think that has an interface to Ipopt
hooked up right now, but it could be possible in theory) to translate the
problem from AMPL syntax into Matlab syntax, and it will automatically
calculate the derivatives for you. JuMP in Julia is similar, and much higher
performance.

The command-line Ipopt executable can read .nl files, but you need a
licensed version of AMPL to create a .nl from .mod and .dat files.

Dear all,

I would like to know if there is a way to use the matlab interface for ipopt
in conjunction with an AMPL model.

Basically, I have one AMPL model file (.mod) and three data files (.dat) all
written in AMPL language. I want to read them all and solve the problem.

Is it possible by mean of the MATLAB interface?

Thank you.

Best Regards,
