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.
We request that publications derived from the use of interiors explicitly
acknowledge the MATPOWER Interior Point Solver (MIPS) by citing the
2007 paper:
