| PackageDescription | nonlinear optimization library
NLopt is a free/open-source library for nonlinear optimization, providing
a common interface for a number of different free optimization routines
available online as well as original implementations of various other
algorithms. Its features include:
.
* Callable from C, C++, Fortran, GNU Octave, Python, GNU Guile, GNU R.
* A common interface for many different algorithms
* Support for large-scale optimization.
* Both global and local optimization algorithms.
* Algorithms using function values only (derivative-free) and also
algorithms exploiting user-supplied gradients.
* Algorithms for unconstrained optimization, bound-constrained optimization,
and general nonlinear inequality/equality constraints.
.
This package provides the shared libraries required to run programs
compiled with NLopt. To compile your own programs you also need to
install libnlopt-dev. |
