interiors

The interiors crate solves non-linear programming problems (NLPs) using a primal-dual interior point method. It is based on the MATPOWER Interior Point Solver (MIPS). MIPS is based on code written in C language by Hongye Wang as a graduate student at Cornell University for optimal power flow applications. It was later ported to the MATLAB/Octave language by Ray D. Zimmerman for use in MATPOWER.
