GALAHAD [1,2] is a thread-safe library of modern Fortran packages for solving nonlinear optimization problems. Many of the packages have C, Python, Julia and Matlab interfaces. At present, the areas covered by the library are unconstrained and bound-constrained optimization, linear and quadratic programming, nonlinear programming, systems of nonlinear equations and inequalities, nonlinear least squares problems and global optimization.

We provide the following interface documentation:

For Fortran, see https://ralna.github.io/galahad_docs/pdf/Fortran
For C, see https://ralna.github.io/galahad_docs/html/C
For Python, see https://ralna.github.io/galahad_docs/html/Python
For Julia, see https://ralna.github.io/galahad_docs/html/Julia

Additional PDF source material is available in the doc folder as part of the main GALAHAD distribution. Help files are provided for Matlab functions.
