Currently, OPT++ includes the classic Newton methods, a nonlinear interior-point method, parallel direct search, a trust region - parallel direct search hybrid, a generating set search, and a wrapper to NPSOL. Between these methods, a wide range of problems can be solved, e.g. with or without constraints, with or without analytic gradients, simulation based, etc.
