MOSEK is a tool for solving mathematical optimization problems. Some examples of problems MOSEK can solve are
- linear programs,
- quadratic programs
- conic problems and
- mixed integer problems.
Such problems occurs frequently in
- Financial applications e.g. portfolio management
- Supply chain management
- Analog chip design
- Forestry and farming
- Medical and hospital management
- Power supply and network planning
- Logistics
- TV commercial scheduling
- Structural engineering.
Due the strengths of the linear and conic optimizers in MOSEK, then MOSEK is currently employed widely in the financial industry and forestry.
Other advantages of using MOSEK:
- Includes free of charge interfaces to languages such as C, Java, and Python.
- Extensive documentation.
- Attractive pricing which is publicly available.
