qpOASES is an open-source C++ implementation of the recently proposed online active set strategy (see [Ferreau, 2006], [Ferreau et al., 2008]), which was inspired by important observations from the field of parametric quadratic programming. It has several theoretical features that make it particularly suited for model predictive control (MPC) applications. The software package qpOASES implements these ideas and has already been successfully used within industrial projects and, e.g., for closed-loop control of a real-world Diesel engine [Ferreau et al., 2007]. Recently, a couple of numerical modifications (as proposed in [Potschka et al., 2010]) have been implemented that greatly increase qpOASES's reliability when solving semi-definite, ill-posed or degenerated convex QPs.

On this web page we offer to download the complete source code of qpOASES along with a concise manual. Besides the mathematical ideas, several interfaces to third-party software like Matlab(R)/Simulink(R) or scilab are provided. Moreover, we collect some frequently asked questions and encourage you to pose any kind of questions, remarks or comments.

Newsflash

Two OPTEC professors have been awarded three "Gouden Krijtjes", the yearly teaching awards given by the organization of engineering students (vtk). Prof. Lombaert was awarded the prize for the best course in civil engineering, and Prof. Diehl the prizes for the best professor and the best course in mathematical engineering (where he teaches numerical optimization). They received these awards at the yearly "proffentap" where experienced students taught them how to draft beer professionally.
