Attach:apm_python.png APM Python is designed for large-scale optimization and accesses solvers of constrained, unconstrained, continuous, and discrete problems. Problems in linear programming, quadratic programming, integer programming, nonlinear optimization, systems of dynamic nonlinear equations, and multiobjective optimization can be solved. The platform can find optimal solutions, perform tradeoff analyses, balance multiple design alternatives, and incorporate optimization methods into external modeling and analysis software. It is free for academic and commercial use. A newer Python interface is the [[Main/GekkoPythonOptimization|GEKKO Optimization Suite]] that is available with:

    python pip install gekko

Instructions below are for working with the original APM Python package that requires an APM model and data files. The advantage of working with GEKKO is that the model equations and data are defined directly within the Python language instead of in separate files (see [[https://gekko.readthedocs.io/en/latest/|documentation]]).

The advantage of working with GEKKO is that the model equations and data are defined directly within the Python language instead of in separate files (see [[https://gekko.readthedocs.io/en/latest/|documentation]]). There is also an option to run locally in GEKKO without an [[Main/APMonitorServer|Apache server]] for Linux and Windows. Both APM Python and GEKKO solve optimization problems on public servers by default and this option is available for all platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS, ARM processors, etc) that run Python.
