18 Interface changes¶
The section shows interface-specific changes to the MOSEK Optimization Toolbox for MATLAB in version 10.2 compared to version 9. See the release notes for general changes and new features of the MOSEK Optimization Suite.
18.1 Important changes compared to version 9¶
Conic constraints (affine conic constraints). The interface for conic constraints written in affine conic form \(Fx+g\in\K\) undergoes a syntactic change. The matrices \(F\), \(g\) do not change. The structure
cones
is replaced with the structureaccs
and the constants defining cone types (for instance"MSK_CT_QUAD"
) are replaced with constants defining domain types (for instance"MSK_DOMAIN_QUADRATIC_CONE"
). For example, the cone specification previously written asprob.cones = [res.symbcon.MSK_CT_QUAD 5 res.symbcon.MSK_CT_PPOW, 4, 2, 40.0, 60.0 ];
would now be written as
prob.accs = [res.symbcon.MSK_DOMAIN_QUADRATIC_CONE 5 res.symbcon.MSK_DOMAIN_PRIMAL_POWER_CONE, 4, 2, 40.0, 60.0 ];
Otherwise there is no change. The interface through
cones
is still supported but deprecated.Conic constraints (variable cones). Expressing conic constraints using the
cones.sub
,cones.subptr
etc. is still supported but deprecated.Parameters. Users who set parameters to tune the performance and numerical properties of the solver (termination criteria, tolerances, solving primal or dual, presolve etc.) are recommended to reevaluate such tuning. It may be that other, or default, parameter settings will be more beneficial in the current version. The hints in Sec. 8 (Debugging Tutorials) may be useful for some cases.
Multithreading. In the interior-point optimizer it is posible to set the number of threads with
MSK_IPAR_NUM_THREADS
before each optimization, and not just once per process. The parameterMSK_IPAR_INTPNT_MULTI_THREAD
is no longer relevant and was removed.MIO initial solution. In order for the mixed-integer solver to utilize a partial integer solution the parameter
MSK_IPAR_MIO_CONSTRUCT_SOL
must be set. See Sec. 6.8.2 (Specifying an initial solution) for details. In version 9 this action happened by default.
