python-nlopt¶

nonlinear optimization library -- Python bindings

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 contains the Python bindings.
