The interior point method is often the most efficient for optimization.

The interior point method is an advanced optimization technique pioneered as a built-in feature in general technical computing by Wolfram Research.

In general, the inclusion of state-of-the art advanced solvers, coupled with Mathematica's packed-array technology and automatic algorithm selection, lets users tackle much larger problems than with other packages--efficiently and with more accurate results.
