OPT++ is a library of nonlinear optimization algorithms written in
C++. The motivation for this package is to build an environment for
the rapid prototyping and development of new optimization
algorithms. In particular, the focus is on robust and efficient
algorithms for problems in which the function and constraint
evaluations require the execution of an expensive computer
simulation. Currently, OPT++ includes the classic Newton methods, a
nonlinear interior-point method, parallel direct search, generating
set search, a trust region - parallel direct search hybrid, and a
wrapper to NPSOL. Between these methods, a wide range of problems
can be solved, e.g. with or without constraints, with or without
analytic gradients, simulation based, etc.
