| NLopt is a 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, and Matlab. |
| * A common interface for many different algorithms—try a different |
| algorithm just by changing one parameter. |
| * Both global and local optimization algorithms. |
| * Both derivative-free and gradient-based optimization algorithms. |
| * Algorithms for unconstrained optimization, bound-constrained |
| optimization, and general nonlinear inequality constraints. |
| * Free/open-source software under the GNU LGPL (and looser |
| licenses for some portions of NLopt). |
