Its features include: * Callable from variety of languages (C, C++, Fortran, Python, Octave) * A common interface for many different algorithms—try a different algorithm just by changing one parameter. * Both global and local optimization algorithms. * Both derivative-free and gradient-based optimization algorithms. * Algorithms for unconstrained optimization, bound-constrained optimization, and general nonlinear inequality constraints. </longdescription> <use> <flag name="octave">Add plugin for <pkg>sci-mathematics/octave</pkg></flag> </use> </pkgmetadata>
