Category: Optimization & solvers

Complex problems may involve a large number of decisions with interacting effects. Optimization tools help automate the search for decision strategies that maximize objectives (or minimize costs) subject to constraints. Analytica Optimizer uses influence diagrams to make it much easier to organize information around your problem compared to traditional math programming tools. Analytica automatically selects the most appropriate solver, whether linear or nonlinear programming, and mixed integer programming (MIP).
