ojAlgo-extensions

ojAlgo has zero dependencies, but through extensions it integrates with various 3:d party tools and libraries.

All extensions are in one and the same GitHub repository – ojAlgo-extensions. The individual extensions are (sub)modules. Each such extension module corresponds to a development project and build artifact. Typically each module/project/artifact has 2 dependencies – ojAlgo and 1 other.

The ojAlgo-extensions repository is private. If you sponsor ojAlgo you’ll get access to it. The code is Open Source and the artifacts are available at Maven Central, but to get direct/explicit access to the code repository you need to be an ojAlgo sponsor. New versions of the artifacts are built on request. To make such a request you also need to be an ojAlgo sponsor.

ojAlgo-commons-math3

  • Convert, back and forth, between ojAlgo and commons-math matrices. Makes it easy to work with the two libraries interchangeably.
  • Make commons-math’s various (random number) distributions available as ojAlgo RandomNumber instances.
  • Use org.apache.commons.math3.optim.linear.SimplexSolver as a solver with ojAlgo’s ExpressionsBasedModel.
  • Drop-in replacement for org.apache.commons.math3.optim.linear.SimplexSolver based on ojAlgo’s LP solver.

ojAlgo-cplex

  • Use CPLEX as a solver with ojAlgo’s ExpressionsBasedModel.

ojAlgo-gurobi

  • Use GUROBI as a solver with ojAlgo’s ExpressionsBasedModel.

ojAlgo-hipparchus

Same feature set as ojAlgo-commons-math3. Hipparchus is a fork of Apache Commons Math.

ojAlgo-jfreechart

  • Standardised/simplified builders for charts commonly used (by Optimatika)
  • Integration with ojAlgo data structures, like time series, to simplify the creation of some charts.

ojAlgo-joptimizer

  • Use JOptimizer as a solver with ojAlgo’s ExpressionsBasedModel.

ojAlgo-mosek

  • Use MOSEK as a solver with ojAlgo’s ExpressionsBasedModel.

ojAlgo-ortools

  • Use Google’s OR Tools as a solver with ojAlgo’s ExpressionsBasedModel.

ojAlgo-rocksdb

  • A RocksDB based Map implementation

ojAlgo-yahoofinance

  • Download historical financial data from Yahoo Finance using Yahoo Finance API (this is NOT something official from Yahoo). ojAlgo has equivalent functionality built-in. Historically this has been broken at times, due to changes and restrictions at Yahoo. When/f ojAlgo’s built-in functionality breaks you may try if this still works.
