ALADIN-α\alpha -- An open-source MATLAB toolbox for distributed non-convex optimization

This paper introduces an open-source software for distributed and decentralized non-convex optimization named ALADIN-$\alpha$. ALADIN-$\alpha$ is a MATLAB implementation of the Augmented Lagrangian Alternating Direction Inexact Newton (ALADIN) algorithm, which is tailored towards rapid prototyping for non-convex distributed optimization. An improved version of the recently proposed bi-level variant of ALADIN is included enabling decentralized non-convex optimization. A collection of application examples from different applications fields including chemical engineering, robotics, and power systems underpins the application potential of ALADIN-$\alpha$

ALADIN-α—An open-source MATLAB toolbox for distributed non-convex optimization

This article introduces an open-source software for distributed and decentralized non-convex optimization named ALADIN-α. ALADIN-α is a MATLAB implementation of tailored variants of the Augmented Lagrangian Alternating Direction Inexact Newton (ALADIN) algorithm. It is user interface is convenient for rapid prototyping of non-convex distributed optimization algorithms. An improved version of the recently proposed bi-level variant of ALADIN is included enabling decentralized non-convex optimization with reduced information exchange. A collection of examples from different applications fields including chemical engineering, robotics, and power systems underpins the potential of ALADIN-α
