+ NLopt is a 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 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.
