fminslp
Matlab based optimizer framework for Sequential Linear Programming (SLP) coupled with a global convergence filter and an adaptive move-limit strategy. The algorithm can handle linear equality, linear in-equality, non-linear in-equality, and non-linear equality constraints. A merit function approach is applied to ensure unconditional feasibility of the linearized sub problem.
The global convergence filter monitors progression of the penalized objective function (the merit function), and the associated non-linear constraints. Based on the response, the filter algorithm adjusts the move-limits to ensure stable convergence. The convergence filter is based on the following papers by Chin CM, Fletcher R (1999) and Fletcher R, Leyffer S, Toint PL (1998).
The adaptive move-limit strategy controls the box-constraints (upper and lower bounds for the design variables) and is based on the work by professor Erik Lund from Aalborg University.
The overall framework is based on an implementation developed during my Ph.d. studies. It was first used for the following paper:
R Soerensen, E Lund (2015): Thickness filters for gradient based multi-material and thickness optimization of laminated composite structures, Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization 52 (2), 227-250 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00158-015-1230-3.
Please refer to this paper when citing the fminslp algorithm.
