The NEOS Server offers SNOPT for the solution of nonlinearly constrained optimization problems in AMPL format. SNOPT is suitable for large nonlinearly constrained problems with a modest number of degrees of freedom.
SNOPT implements a sequential programming algorithm that uses a smooth augmented Lagrangian merit function and makes explicit provision for infeasibility in the original problem and in the quadratic programming subproblems. Additional information on SNOPT can be found in the User's Guide for SNOPT (Version 5.3)
SNOPT was developed by Philip E. Gill, Walter Murray, and Michael Saunders.
The model is specified by a model file, and optionally, a data file and a commands file. If the command file is specified it must contain the AMPL solve command.
The commands file can contain any AMPL command or set options for SNOPT with, for example, option snopt_options "timing=3 outlev=2"; Printing directed to standard out is returned to the user with the output.
option snopt_options "timing=3 outlev=2";
