QPOPT 1.0
Description
 

QPOPT (invented by Philip E. Gill, Walter Murray and Michael A. Saunders) is a software package for solving dense linear and quadratic programs. If the quadratic objective function is convex (definite or semi definite), the solution obtained is a global optimum. For non-convex problems, the solution may be a local optimum or a dead-point (or unbounded).

The quadratic form x'Qx is defined by a user routine that computes Qx for a given vector x. (Hence some advantage arises if Q is sparse.) Linear constraints and bounds on the variables are treated separately by an active-set method. If the problem has no feasible solution, QPOPT minimizes the sum of the constraint and bound violations.

If your quadratic is positive definite or semi definite (typically x'A'Ax + linear terms) you may want to consider LSSOL.

Hardware / Software / Interface
 

QPOPT is implemented in Fortran 77 and distributed as source code. It is intended for any machine with a reasonable amount of memory and a Fortran compiler. It may be called from a driver program (typically in Fortran, C or MATLAB). QPOPT may also be used as a stand-alone package.

F-MEX files are distributed with QPOPT. These are Fortran 77 links to MATLAB. (Currently they are for Unix systems. Inevitably, PC versions will be "similar but different".)

Prices / Sales
 

Academic pricing is for Universities (or institutions that offer degrees for academic work). 

The prices are one-time fees for a perpetual license to use the current version of QPOPT.  The usage of QPOPT is governed by a license agreement; to obtain an license agreement and order QPOPT, click here.
