kinsol
outputThe kinsol
functions attempt to search the domain of
f for a vector v the length of i to satisfy
f(v) = o
as closely as possible. In the case
of constrained optimization, (i.e., functions whose names begin with
c
), only non-negative numbers are acceptable in v. The
search for v will start in the vicinity of i. The value of
i will therefore determine a unique solution if multiple
solutions exist, and will save time if it is near a solution.
In some cases when a solution can’t be found due to non-convergence,
an empty list is returned. Non-convergence is not considered an
exceptional condition. In all other cases where no exception occurs,
the output from a kinsol
function will be the list v of
real numbers satisfying f(v) = o
to the best
possible tolerance.
