TOMLAB /MAD

Summary:
The package TOMLAB /MAD package introduces automatic differentiation for the MATLAB users by operator overloading. TOMLAB /MAD with the TOMLAB Base Module is complete integration for advanced optimization application with more than 100 algorithms available. MAD can also be used as a stand-alone package for the MATLAB user.

Features:
First order derivatives may be calculated automatically. One level of derivatives is supported. Any number of matrix dimensions may be calculated, i.e. 3 and 4-dimensional matrices can be generated for the derivatives.
