Preprint Version: [pdf]
We categorize and survey software packages for solving constrained nonlinear optimization problems, including interior-point methods, sequential linear/quadratic programming methods, and augmented Lagrangian methods. In each case we highlight the main methodological components and provide a brief summary of interfaces and availability.
