p.s. I am not quite sure of the need of petsc-dev. I Just read about the inclusion of tao solvers in it and installed petsc-dev, cython and petsc4py on my ubuntu 12.04.
Unfortunately petsc4py (and the old tao4py) documentation does not have this type of python documented examples. After some correspondence in petsc4py mailing list they suggested that I might find some help on petsc-users mailing list. 2014-05-14 10:07 GMT-03:00 André Timótheo <[email protected]>: > I read about the merger of the TAO solvers on the PETSC-DEV. > > How can I use the TAO's constrainded optimization solver on > the PETSC-DEV (via petsc4py)? > > Can you show me some simple python script to deal with classical > linear > constrainded optimization problems like: > > minimize sum(x) subject to x >= 0 and Ax = b > > Thanks for your time. > > Andre >
