CasADi -- A symbolic package for automatic differentiation and optimal control

We present CasADi, a free, open-source software tool for rapid, yet efficient solution of optimization problems in general and dynamic optimization problems in particular. To the developer of algorithms for numerical optimization and to the advanced user of such algorithms, it offers a level of abstraction which is notably lower, and hence more flexible, than that of algebraic modeling languages s
