Will constrained optimization be supported? #45
Comments
So right now we do support hypercube constraints in our root-finding methods (e.g. Other than that we don't currently support any kind of constraints in our solves. We may do at some point, but as always developer time is the limiting factor! |
Hello! Was also curious on this front. In particular, I am wondering if there are plans to support box constraints in BFGS, or if this can already be done in the current framework. |
For something simple like box constraints, then it should be fairly easy to add that in. We'd be happy to take a PR adding that. (Note that box constraints are already implemented for the root-finders, so you could follow a similar pattern to there.) |
If box constraints are supported it shouldn't be too much work to add an augmented Lagrangian type method for general constraints. Could maybe be like a "meta solver" where you can wrap another solver to manage the unconstrained sub problems? I can hopefully take a look at it once I finish up a few other projects. |
Hi, thank you for the amazing library!
I was wondering if minimizing with user-specified bounds, or algorithms like projected gradient descent are supported?
If not, what would be the best practice you suggest if we are trying to solve things like
argmin(norm(Ax+b)) s.t. x >=0
?Thanks in advance!
