ALADIN-α – An open-source MATLAB toolbox for distributed non-convex optimization
share
This paper introduces an open-source software for distributed and decentralized non-convex optimization named ALADIN-α. ALADIN-α 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-α.
