For discussion of mathematical optimization software in Julia. This includes modeling software and solvers for linear optimization, mixed-integer optimization, convex optimization, nonlinear optimization, semidefinite optimization, and related topics.

- [JuMP](https://jump.dev) is a modeling language and collection of solvers for constrained optimization. It supports a wide variety of problem classes including linear programming, conic programming, semidefinite programming, and nonlinear programming.
- [JuliaSmoothOptimizers](https://github.com/JuliaSmoothOptimizers) provides a collection of tools primarily designed for developing solvers for smooth nonlinear optimization.
- [JuliaNLSolvers](https://github.com/JuliaNLSolvers) offers implementations in Julia of standard standard optimization algorithms for unconstrained or box-constrained problems such as BFGS, Nelder-Mead, conjugate gradient, etc.
- JuliaHub lists 70+ [optimization packages in Julia](https://juliahub.com/ui/Packages?t=optimization)!

The [julia-opt](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/julia-opt) list was the home for discussions in this category until December 2016.

Hello Stephan. We are looking to hire a part-time JuliOpt expert to help translate a Matlab application into Julia. Your guidance on how to best proceed? thanks
