Quadratic programming. Quadratic programming ( QP) is the process of solving certain mathematical optimization problems involving quadratic functions. Specifically, one seeks to optimize (minimize or maximize) a multivariate quadratic function subject to linear constraints on the variables. Quadratic programming is a type of nonlinear programming .

MOSEK – a large scale optimisation software. Solves linear, quadratic, conic and convex nonlinear, continuous and integer optimisation.
Sequential quadratic programming. Sequential quadratic programming ( SQP) is an iterative method for constrained nonlinear optimization which may be considered a quasi-Newton method. SQP methods are used on mathematical problems for which the objective function and the constraints are twice continuously differentiable, but not necessarily convex.
Quadratically constrained quadratic program. In mathematical optimization, a quadratically constrained quadratic program ( QCQP) is an optimization problem in which both the objective function and the constraints are quadratic functions. It has the form. where P0, ..., Pm are n -by- n matrices and x ∈ Rn is the optimization variable.
Definition. The most common problem being solved is the 0-1 knapsack problem, which restricts the number of copies of each kind of item to zero or one. Given a set of items numbered from 1 up to , each with a weight and a value , along with a maximum weight capacity , subject to and . Here represents the number of instances of item to include ...
HiGHS is based on solvers written by PhD students from the Optimization and Operational Research Group in the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh.Its origins can be traced back to late 2016, when Ivet Galabova combined her LP presolve with Julian Hall's simplex crash procedure and Huangfu Qi's dual simplex solver to solve a class of industrial LP problems faster than the best ...
Constraint programming. Constraint programming (CP) [1] is a paradigm for solving combinatorial problems that draws on a wide range of techniques from artificial intelligence, computer science, and operations research. In constraint programming, users declaratively state the constraints on the feasible solutions for a set of decision variables.
Heuristic (computer science) In mathematical optimization and computer science, heuristic (from Greek εὑρίσκω "I find, discover") is a technique designed for problem solving more quickly when classic methods are too slow for finding an exact or approximate solution, or when classic methods fail to find any exact solution in a search space.
