This is a ground-up rewrite of CVXR using R’s S7 object system, designed to be isomorphic with CVXPY 1.8.1 for long-term maintainability. ~4-5x faster than CVXR 1.0-15 on typical problems.

parameter.as_cvxr_expr().
Sparse Matrix objects (dgCMatrix, dgeMatrix,
etc.) use S4 dispatch which preempts S7/S3, so direct arithmetic like
sparseA %*% x fails. Wrapping with
as_cvxr_expr(sparseA) %*% x converts to a CVXR Constant
while preserving sparsity. Base R matrix and
numeric work natively without wrapping.+ and -
operators, matching CVXPY’s Expression.broadcast().
Expressions with compatible but different shapes (e.g.,
(1, n) + (m, 1) → (m, n)) now work correctly
in constraints and objectives. Previously only scalar promotion was
supported.MatrixFrac,
TrInv, SigmaMax, NormNuc,
LambdaSumLargest) are now correctly classified, ensuring
solvers like ECOS that don’t support SDP are rejected with a clear error
message instead of a cryptic dimension mismatch. Approximate variants
(PnormApprox, PowerApprox,
GeoMeanApprox) correctly route to SOC; exact variants route
to their native cone types (PowCone3D,
PowConeND).Variable(n) instead of
new("Variable", n).chooseOpsMethod() and S7

not an S4 object. Use psolve() for a direct numeric return

deprecated. Use value(x) and dual_value(con)
after solving instead.problem_status(), problem_solution(), and
get_problem_data() are deprecated. Use

problem_data() instead.axis parameter uses 1-based indexing matching R’s

Bug fix: issue
#28 Function intf_sign (interface.R) was
unnecessarily using a tolerance parameter, now eliminated.
Updated Solver.solve to adapt to new ECOSolveR. Require version 0.4 of ECOSolveR now.
Updated unpack_results to behave exactly like in
CVXPY. Added documentation and testthat tests. Documented in the Speed.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
