There are now 18 volumes since 1998. If you want your paper published in preprint in our website, please send me the final version in pdf fomat. ------------------------------------------------------- From: A. Ismael F. Vaz [log in to unmask] Date: October 22, 2015 Subject: MOSQP v1.0 has been released We are happy to announce that version 1.0 of the MultiObjective Sequential Quadratic Programming (MOSQP) solver has been released. MOSQP is a multiobjective optimization solver for bound, linear, and nonlinear constrained problems (for which the derivatives of the objective functions and constraints are available). The algorithm performs Sequential Quadratic Programming type iterations to build an approximation to the Pareto front. MOSQP makes use of derivative information of the objective functions and constraints to build quadratic models from which search directions are obtained. It has been shown to be efficient and robust for a large set of bound and constrained multiobjective optimization problems. The code is written in MATLAB and it provides an interface with AMPL.
