An interface to the multiple-precision solver SDPA-GMP for YALMIP in UNIX-based and Windows systems. You can also use SDPA-GMP remotely on the NEOS server: check out mpYALIMP-neos!

Known issues:

• Windows users: please download and install v1.1.2, as previous versions cannot be used in Windows. UNIX-based systems: a bug in the installer/uninstaller functions in version 1.1 prevents successful installation. If you have downloaded mpYALMIP v1.1, please update to v1.1.1 or later.
• All users: when testing the installation with the command "yalmiptest sdpa_gmp", YALMIP reports an "Unknown Error" instead of success for the test problem. However, sdpa-gmp should actually be working correctly. Please test your installation by running the test problems in the folder examples/

The following is a quick installation guide; for more details, see INSTALL.txt.

Before you run the script install_sdpa_gmp.m, make sure you have installed SDPA-GMP (download & install from the SDPA website).

For detailed instructions to install the required software (for Windows but also valid in UNIX-based systems) see InstallWindowsReqs.txt.

The following instructions assume that the SDPA-GMP executable binary file (sdpa_gmp) is installed in /usr/local/bin/. In this case, add SDPA-GMP to YALMIP by running

>> install_sdpa_gmp 

If you have installed SDPA-GMP in another location, you should be able to add it to YALMIP by running

>> install_sdpa_gmp('path/to/sdpa/gmp/')

where 'path/to/sdpa/gmp/' is the path to your SDPA-GMP installation. The path should be to the sdpa_gmp executable itself or to the directory, ending with /, where the sdpa_gmp executable lies.

Note: please ignore any compilation warnings that might be displayed.

Once installed, you can use SDPA-GMP like any other solver in YALMIP. You can specify the solver's options using the sdpsettings() command. For example, you can set YALMIP's options to use SDPA-GMP with 100 digits of precision with the command

>> opts = sdpsettings('solver','sdpa_gmp','sdpa_gmp.precision',100);

For a complete list of options, please refer to SDPA-GMP's manual.
