I am working on a Tokamak systems code that requires the use of a constrained minimizer in order to optimize the design. Specifically, I need to minimize a function subject to a series of potentially non-linear equality and inequality constraints. It would also be nice to be able to place direct bounds on variables. I am currently using a routine named 'vmcon' but I'm not particularly happy with its performance. Does anyone know where I could get my hands on another package? Thanks. Scott FYI, the problem consists of roughly 20 equality constraints, 15 inequality constraints, and 40 variables. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott W.
