SNOPT (Sparse NOlinear OPTimizer) is a nonlinear programming (NLP) solver implementing the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm for solving large-scale constrained optimization problems with smooth nonlinear objective function and constraints. It uses quasi-Newton approximations to the Hessian of the augmented Lagrangian function to finding search direction toward optimal solution.
