Welcome

You may be interested in our amazing software that is completely free (license: BSD) and cross-platform (Linux, Windows, Mac etc) Python language modules. It is published quarterly since 2007 and already has some essential applications. We expect it to become even more popular with Python release 3.3, where dynamic compilation will be implemented.

• OpenOpt framework - universal numerical optimization package with several own solvers (e.g. ralg) and connections to lots of other, graphical output of convergence and lots of other goodies
• FuncDesigner - tool to rapidly build functions over variables/arrays and get their derivatives via automatic differentiation. Also, you can perform integration, interpolation, solve systems of linear/nonlinear/ODE equations and numerical optimization problems coded in FuncDesigner by OpenOpt (see some examples in its doc)
• DerApproximator - tool to get (or check user-supplied) derivatives via finite-difference approximation

• FD AD: some changes + parameter exactShape
• New GLP solvers from nlopt: isres and mlsl
• Parameter useSparse for FuncDesigner AD and optimization probs
• New NLP solvers from nlopt: ptn, slmvm1 and slmvm2 (box-bound), mma and auglag (general)
• Integration of FuncDesigner functions
• New FuncDesigner feature: Translator
• bugfixes for some nonlin solvers
• Changes to improve sparse FuncDesigner LP
• New release: OpenOpt 0.29, FuncDesigner 0.19, DerApproximator 0.19

• OpenOpt Foreword (українською мовою), wikipedia.org entry, mloss.org entry, mac.softpedia.com entry, linux.softpedia.com entry
