The answer to all 3 questions is “no”. Details of the algorithm used by MATPOWER’s default solver, MIPS, can be found in Appendix A of the MATPOWER User’s Manual <http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/MATPOWER-manual-6.0.pdf> or in the MIPS User’s Manual <http://www.pserc.cornell.edu/matpower/docs/MIPS-manual-1.2.2.pdf>.
