Package: libnlopt0 (2.7.1-5)

nonlinear optimization library

NLopt is a free/open-source library for nonlinear optimization, providing a common interface for a number of different free optimization routines available online as well as original implementations of various other algorithms. Its features include:

   * Callable from C, C++, Fortran, GNU Octave, Python, GNU Guile, GNU R.
   * A common interface for many different algorithms
   * Support for large-scale optimization.
   * Both global and local optimization algorithms.
   * Algorithms using function values only (derivative-free) and also
     algorithms exploiting user-supplied gradients.
   * Algorithms for unconstrained optimization, bound-constrained optimization,
     and general nonlinear inequality/equality constraints.

This package provides the shared libraries required to run programs compiled with NLopt. To compile your own programs you also need to install libnlopt-dev.
