Functions

Topics

Write Constraints

• Types of Constraints
  Choose the most appropriate form for your constraints.
• Iterations Can Violate Constraints
  Considerations for constrained problems.
• Bound Constraints
  How to write constraints for individual components.
• Linear Constraints
  Include constraints that can be expressed as matrix inequalities or equalities.
• Nonlinear Constraints
  How to include general inequality and equality constraints.
• Checking Validity of Gradients or Jacobians
  Check whether a derivative function matches finite difference estimates.
• Or Instead of And Constraints
  Optimize when only one constraint of a set is necessary.
• Objective and Nonlinear Constraints in the Same Function
  Save function evaluations, typically useful in simulations.
• How to Use All Types of Constraints
  Example showing all constraints.

Pass Extra Parameters

• Passing Extra Parameters
  Including extra parameters or data in your objective or nonlinear constraint functions.

Constraint Argument Details

• Matrix Arguments
  Handling multidimensional arguments.
