-NLopt is a library for nonlinear local and global optimization, for
-functions with and without gradient information. It is designed as
-as simple, unified interface and packaging of several free/open-source
-nonlinear optimization libraries.
-
-The latest version and a complete manual may be found at the NLopt
-home page:
-
- http://ab-initio.mit.edu/nlopt
-
-It is compiled and installed with the standard GNU autoconf/automake
-commands:
- ./configure
- make
- make install
-(See './configure --help' or the INSTALL file for other options.)
-
-Once it is installed, #include <nlopt.h> in your C/C++ programs and
-link it with -lnlopt -lm. You may need to use the C++ compiler to link
-in order to include the C++ libraries (which are used internally by NLopt,
-even though it has a C API).
-
-The minimization function, nlopt_minimize, is described in the man
-page (api/nlopt_minimize.3, which is installed by 'make install'.
-
-Interfaces for other languages may be added in the future.
