Initialisation Methods

Topics
	The Control Vector
	The Control Vector is the main communication region between the modeler and CONOPT.
	Registration of problem sizes
	Before any model data can be loaded into CONOPT, the dimensions of the problem must be first specified.
	Registration of options
	Options that modify the macro behaviour of CONOPT.

Detailed Description

Initialisation methods that must or can be used before CONOPT is started.

This module lists the many initialisation calls that must or can be used before CONOPT is started. All routines are integer functions with names starting with coidef_ or COIDEF_. The initialisation routines will return an error code with the following interpretation:

• 0: No error was detected
• 1: The Control Vector has been corrupted (or it has not been initialized using coidef_ini())
• 2: The argument is out of range, i.e. has an illegal value such as a negative number for the number of variables.

The initialisation calls cover the algorithm details related to initialization, size definitions, objective function definition, option definitions, and finally user memory registration. An example of how these are used and called is give in Fortran and C overview,

In each of the following modules, the registration call mentions if it is a mandatory callback function.
