Hello, This certainly does the job. It might be possible to get close to that within the existing API, by having the user-defined function return +Inf for points outside the constraints. The minimiser could be modified to use that as a signal to backtrack. This would allow arbitrary constraints, but loses the advantage of knowing exactly where the edge of the allowed region is. -- Brian Gough Network Theory Ltd, Publishing Free Software Manuals --- http://www.network-theory.co.uk/ _______________________________________________ Help-gsl mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gsl
