| Remarks | DONLP2 is a Fortran package designed to solve the nonlinear programming problem: the minimization of a smooth nonlinear function subject to a set of constraints on the variables.
The problem is assumed to be stated in the following form: minimize f(x) subject to h(x)=0 g(x) >= 0 l<=x<=u, where f(x) is a smooth (nonlinear) function, h(x) is a vector of p smooth constraint functions and g(x) is m-vector of smooth nonlinear constraint functions. Lower and Upper bounds on the variables are identified by a special indicator array. DONLP2 treats all matrices as dense. | |
