CVXR

CVXR provides an object-oriented modeling language for convex
optimization, similar to CVX, CVXPY, YALMIP, and Convex.jl. It
allows the user to formulate convex optimization problems in a natural
mathematical syntax rather than the restrictive standard form required
by most solvers. The user specifies an objective and set of
constraints by combining constants, variables, and parameters using a
library of functions with known mathematical properties. CVXR then
applies signed disciplined convex programming
(DCP) to
verify the problem’s convexity. Once verified, the problem is
converted into standard conic form using graph implementations and
passed to a cone solver such as
ECOS or
SCS.

CVXR includes several open source solvers in addition to the default
OSQP, ECOS and SCS. Recent (1.x+) versions also include support for
commercial solvers such as MOSEK,
GUROBI and
CPLEX.

For details and examples, we refer you to Fu, Narasimhan,
Boyd (2020). If you use
CVXR in your work, please cite this reference. (The R command
citation("CVXR", bibtex = TRUE) will also give you a
bibtex-formatted entry.)

Installation

This package is now released on CRAN, so you can install the current
released version as you would any other package for R, version 3.4
and higher. (CVXR is known to work with earlier versions of R too,
but we don’t check our releases against older versions of R.)

install.packages('CVXR', repos = "https://CRAN.R-project.org")

Development versions can be installed from the Github repository
assuming you have the development tools
for R available, including the C compilers etc. Execute:

library(devtools)
install_github("cvxgrp/CVXR")

Tutorial

A number of tutorial examples are available on the CVXR
website along with links to our useR! 2019
