Premium Solver Platform - Standard and Stochastic Editions
Premium Solver Platform Standard and Stochastic Editions
Premium Solver Platform Standard Edition is Frontline Systems' flagship spreadsheet optimization product -- the most powerful Solver for
conventional
optimization problems we've ever offered. New in Version 8.0
is Premium Solver Platform Stochastic Edition, which adds new
state-of-the-art capabilities for stochastic optimization --
that you can't get anywhere else -- to solve large-scale optimization problems that include uncertainty.
Premium Solver Platform Standard Edition gives you all of these capabilities, and more:
- Build multi-worksheet models, with decision variables and constraints on any worksheet. Use huge worksheets of 16 thousand columns and 1 million rows in Excel 2007.
- Create and solve simulation optimization models, with decision variables, random variables, and uncertain formulas in your objective and constraints, using Risk Solver Engine.
- Solve linear, quadratic and mixed-integer programming problems, and new second order cone programming problems.
- Solve nonlinear optimization and global optimization problems, with multistart methods or our new Interval Global Solver.
- Solve non-smooth optimization problems, with arbitrary Excel formulas and functions, with our new hybrid Evolutionary Solver.
- Automatically test your models for linear, quadratic, convex, smooth nonlinear, and non-smooth functions.
- Automatically transform models with IF, MIN, MAX, ABS and relational and logical operators into equivalent, easier-to-solve models with extra variables and linear constraints.
- Evaluate field-installable Solver engines, for large-scale problems, while you evaluate the Premium Solver Platform!
Premium Solver Platform Stochastic Edition adds powerful new capabilities for optimizing models that include uncertainty:
- Define uncertain parameters, with probability distributions or explicit scenario values, directly through the Solver Parameters dialog.
- Define recourse decision variables for decisions you can make on a wait and see basis, after the uncertainties in your model are resolved.
- Define chance constraints, using Value at Risk (VaR), Conditional VaR, and uncertainty set risk measures.
- Define an expected value objective, or a risk measure (using VaR, CVaR, or uncertainty sets) for your objective function.
- Automatically diagnose the use of uncertainty in your models, and find out if you can use faster and more scalable solution methods.
- Solve problems with uncertainty using robust optimization and stochastic programming methods. Your model can be converted automatically into the required form!
- Solve using simulation optimization (with help from Risk Solver Engine) -- without changing your model at all! Just change two check box option settings.
- Use field-installable Solver engines to solve large-scale models created by the robust optimization and stochastic programming methods.
