# pysolnp - Nonlinear optimization with the augmented Lagrange method

## Description
SOLNP solves the general nonlinear optimization problem on the form:
```
    minimize f(x)
      subject to
       g(x) = e_x
   l_h <= h(x) <= u_h
   l_x <   x   < u_X
```
where f(x), g(x) and h(x) are smooth functions.

## Compatability
Precompiled Wheels are available for CPython:
- Windows: Python 2.7, 3.6+
- Linux: Python 2.7, 3.5+
- Mac OS: Python 2.7, 3.5+

For other systems, or to have BLAS and LAPACK support, please build the wheels manually.
Note: For best results, building it from source is recommended, as BLAS and LAPACK will make a difference.

## Installation
Simply install the package through PyPi with:
`pip install pysolnp`

When compiling from source code you will need CMake.<br>
See the [README for the C++ code](https://github.com/KristerSJakobsson/solnp/blob/master/README.md) for details.

## Usage
Below is the Box example, for the complete example see [/python_examples/example_box.py](/python_examples/example_box.py).
```python
import pysolnp

def f_objective_function(x):
    return -1 * x[0] * x[1] * x[2]

def g_equality_constraint_function(x):
    return [4 * x[0] * x[1] + 2 * x[1] * x[2] + 2 * x[2] * x[0]]

x_starting_point = [1.1, 1.1, 9.0]
x_l = [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]
x_u = [10.0, 10.0, 10.0]
e_x = [100]

result = pysolnp.solve(
    obj_func=f_objective_function,
    par_start_value=x_starting_point,
    par_lower_limit=x_l,
    par_upper_limit=x_u,
    eq_func=g_equality_constraint_function,
    eq_values=e_x)

result.solve_value
result.optimum
result.callbacks
result.converged
```

Output:
```
>>> result.solve_value
-48.11252206814995
>>> result.optimum
[2.8867750707815447, 2.8867750713194273, 5.773407748939196]
>>> result.callbacks
118
>>> result.converged
True
```

## Parameters

```python

*Defaults for configuration parameters are based on the defaults for Rsolnp.<br>
**Higher values means the solution will bring the solution into the feasible region with higher weight. Very high values might lead to numerical ill conditioning or slow down convergence.
