Overall, the open source programs can solve optimization and basic control problems with some extra coding, and OCTAVE has an advantage due to its MATLAB-like programming interface.

    Comparison of the main features of SCILAB, OCTAVE and MATLAB for

    some optimization and control problems


    Danilo C. Becke (IC) and Alberto L. Serpa (PQ)

    Abstract
    The main goal of this project is the comparison between MATLAB, SCILAB and OCTAVE in the solution of
    some problems in the area of linear systems response simulations, linear systems feedback control and
    function minimization (unconstrained and constrained problems). Both open source software (SCILAB and
    OCTAVE) showed comparable results and user interface to MATLAB for the minimization problems. For the
    control problems, the open software do not have some specific functions, but they allow solving the
    equivalent problems with some extra code implementation.

    Introduction requires further investigation to understand the
