  Description     : large scale nonlinear optimization of continuous systems

 Ipopt (Interior Point OPTimizer, pronounced I-P-Opt) is a software
 package for large-scale nonlinear optimization.  IPOPT implements
 a primal-dual interior point method, and uses line searches based on
 Filter methods (Fletcher and Leyffer).
 .
 IPOPT is designed to exploit 1st and 2nd derivative (Hessians)
 information if provided (usually via automatic differentiation routines
 in modeling environments such as AMPL). If no Hessians are provided,
 IPOPT will approximate them using a quasi-Newton methods, specifically a
 BFGS update.
