Nonlinear Optimization Examples |
The nonlinear programming (NLP) problem with one objective function and constraint functions , which are continuously differentiable, is defined as follows:
If the functions and are twice differentiable, the point is an isolated local minimizer of the NLP problem, if there exists a vector that meets the following conditions:
Each nonzero vector with
In practice, you cannot expect the constraint functions to vanish within machine precision, and determining the set of active constraints at the solution might not be simple.
