Gurobi Optimizer Delivers Non-Linear Solving
Nonlinear Solving
Nonlinear optimization extends Gurobi’s ability to model real-world systems where relationships between variables are not purely linear. Examples include equations with variables that are raised to powers greater than one, or those involving trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, or other nonlinear functions. From energy systems and finance to engineering and logistics, Gurobi enables you to find globally or locally optimal solutions efficiently and reliably.
-
Gurobi Optimizer Delivers Parallel and Distributed Optimization
Parallel and Distributed Optimization
Gurobi was designed from the ground up for parallelism and distributed computing. Whether you run the Gurobi Optimizer on a single workstation, a multi-core cluster, or across cloud resources, Gurobi scales seamlessly to use all available computational power.
-
Gurobi Optimizer Delivers Infeasibility Analysis
Infeasibility Analysis
Gurobi helps you quickly identify exactly where infeasibility exists in your model, so you can fix it and get back on track.
-
Gurobi Optimizer Delivers Multi-Objective Optimization
Multi-Objective Optimization
Gurobi supports models with multiple, competing objectives—with flexibility in how they are prioritized. You can also review individual objective values and MIP gaps after solving, giving you clearer insight into trade-offs between objectives.
-
Gurobi Optimizer Delivers Multiple Scenario Analysis
Multiple Scenario Analysis
Use Gurobi as a “digital twin” for your business—enabling you to explore the business impact of certain decisions or what-if scenarios, before they happen.
-
Gurobi Optimizer Delivers Parameter Tuning
Parameter Tuning
When confronted with the task of choosing parameter values that might lead to better performance on a model, the long list of Gurobi parameters may seem intimidating. To simplify the process, we include a simple automated parameter tuning tool
-
Gurobi Optimizer Delivers Solution Pools
Solution Pools
While Gurobi is designed to identify a single, proven-optimal solution, you can also instruct Gurobi to explore multiple high-quality alternatives along the way. Solution-pool quality attributes make it easy to compare constraint, bound, and integrality violations across solutions and understand trade-offs among them.
-
Gurobi Optimizer Delivers Function Constraints
Simple General Constraints
Express common modeling constructs like MIN/MAX, ABS, AND/OR, and IF/THEN at a higher level, making such models easier to build and maintain.
-
Gurobi Optimizer Delivers General Constraints
General Constraints
By supporting variable relationships directly in the Gurobi API, we simplify the modeling process—performing the transformation to a corresponding MIP formulation automatically and transparently during the solution process.
