9 Case StudiesΒΆ

In this section we present some case studies in which the API for MATLAB is used to solve real-life applications. These examples involve some more advanced modeling skills and possibly some input data. The user is strongly recommended to first read the basic tutorials of Sec. 7 (Optimization Tutorials) before going through these advanced case studies.
