Interior Point Conic Optimization for Rust and Python









Features
Installation
License
Documentation

__Clarabel.rs__ is a Rust implementation of an interior point numerical solver for convex optimization problems using a novel homogeneous embedding. Clarabel.rs solves the following problem:

$$
\begin{array}{r}
\text{minimize} & \frac{1}{2}x^T P x + q^T x\\\\[2ex]
\text{subject to} & Ax + s = b \\\\[1ex]
& s \in \mathcal{K}
\end{array}
$$

with decision variables
$x \in \mathbb{R}^n$,
$s \in \mathbb{R}^m$
and data matrices
$P=P^\top \succeq 0$,
$q \in \mathbb{R}^n$,
$A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$, and
$b \in \mathbb{R}^m$.
The convex set $\mathcal{K}$ is a composition of convex cones.

__For more information see the Clarabel Documentation ([stable](https://clarabel.org) | [dev](https://clarabel.org/dev)).__

Clarabel is also available in a Julia implementation. See [here](https://github.com/oxfordcontrol/Clarabel.jl).

## Features

* __Versatile__: Clarabel.rs solves linear programs (LPs), quadratic programs (QPs), second-order cone programs (SOCPs) and semidefinite programs (SDPs). It also solves problems with exponential, power cone and generalized power cone constraints.
* __Quadratic objectives__: Unlike interior point solvers based on the standard homogeneous self-dual embedding (HSDE), Clarabel.rs handles quadratic objectives without requiring any epigraphical reformulation of the objective. It can therefore be significantly faster than other HSDE-based solvers for problems with quadratic objective functions.
* __Infeasibility detection__: Infeasible problems are detected using a homogeneous embedding technique.
* __Open Source__: Our code is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/oxfordcontrol/Clarabel.rs) and distributed under the Apache 2.0 License
