This is an implementation of interior point method for nonlinear programming. It is now part of Mathematica. It is used for solving constrained optimization probems in Mathematica's FindMinimum .
Here is an example of solving a nonlinear programming problem
In[1]:= FindMinimum[{Sin[x]*Cos[y]+Exp[Sin[x]],3x+6y<=20&&x>2&&y>2},{x,y}] Out[1]= {1.38947, {x -> 2.66667, y -> 2.}}
