Celebrating the first 1000 stars on GitHub

JuMP just received its 1000th star on GitHub! We will use this milestone to recap JuMP’s growth and other important milestones since its beginnings as an experimental project in 2012.

While tracking the success of an open-source project is known to be a hard problem, we have a few metrics available to us. The number of citations of the two...

JuMP 1.15.0 is released

We are happy to announce the release of JuMP 1.15.0.

This is a very large minor release because it adds an entirely new data structure and API path for working with nonlinear programs.

The previous nonlinear interface remains unchanged and is documented at Nonlinear Modeling (Legacy). The new interface is a treated as a non-breaking feature addition and is...

JuMP 1.0.0 is released

Authors: Miles Lubin, Oscar Dowson, Iain Dunning, Joaquim Dias Garcia, Joey Huchette, and Benoît Legat.

We are happy to announce the release of JuMP 1.0!

Nearly 10 years in the making, the release of JuMP 1.0 represents a major milestone in the history of JuMP. It also represents a stable platform from which we can continue to build new and...

JuMP 0.23 is released

We are happy to announce the release of JuMP v0.23.

This is an important release for two reasons.

First, it serves as a release candidate for JuMP v1.0. Our criteria for tagging an official JuMP 1.0 release are:

• there have been no bugs requiring a breaking change detected in JuMP v0.23 for at least one week
• all commonly used...

An update on constraint programming in JuMP

Author: Thibaut Cuvelier (@dourouc05)

JuMP and MathOptInterface are oriented towards traditional mathematical optimization, encompassing problem classes such as mixed-integer linear programs and conic optimization. However, the MathOptInterface API is amenable to other kinds of formalism, including constraint programming.

In constrast to linear or conic programs, constraint programs typically have no objective function, but a much wider variety of constraints...

JuMP 0.21.7 is released

We are happy to announce the release of JuMP 0.21.7. This should be a non-breaking release, please let us know if this isn’t the case by opening a Github issue or joining the developer chatroom.

A key feature of interest is that we have continued to significantly revise our documentation. The Nonlinear Modeling section is now much...

JuMP 0.21.6 is released

We are happy to announce the release of JuMP 0.21.6. This should be a non-breaking release, please let us know if this isn’t the case by opening a Github issue or joining the developer chatroom.

NumFOCUS small development grant: adding complex number support to JuMP

The JuMP Steering Committee is pleased to announce that we have received a small development grant from NumFOCUS to add complex number support to JuMP.

Currently, JuMP and MathOptInterface are limited to formulating optimization problems with real-valued decision variables. However, complex numbers appear in a variety of industrial optimization problems. One of the most important of these...

NumFOCUS signs agreement with LANL to improve nonlinear support in JuMP

Formalizing a governance structure

Recently, JuMP turned eight years old. (The first commit for “Julp” was made on 10 October 2012!) It has come a long way since it’s creation as a side-project of two graduate students at MIT, and as we approach a 1.0 release, we thought it was time to formalize our governance structure.

You can find the resulting document under...

HiGHS.jl 0.1 released

We are happy to announce the initial v0.1 release of HiGHS.jl, a wrapper for HiGHS.

HiGHS is a new high-performance open-source linear programming solver being developed by Julian Hall and colleagues at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

While HiGHS is ready...

Finding multiple feasible solutions

Author: James Foster (@jd-foster)

This tutorial demonstrates how to formulate and solve a combinatorial problem with multiple feasible solutions. In fact, we will see how to find all feasible solutions to our problem. We will also see how to enforce an “all-different” constraint on a set of integer variables.

This post is in the same form as tutorials in the...
