We have used hopdm to study sequential quadratic programming techniques applied to small nonlinear programs arising from control theory. To facilitate the use of hopdm we have coded a link to ampl which provides automatic differentiation. Difficulties have been experienced in finding a suitable linesearch method and merit function, especially when dealing with non-convexity.
Our experience will be illustrated with some preliminary computational results.
