Direct Known Subclasses:

EqualityConstraints, InequalityConstraints

public abstract class Constraints
extends java.lang.Object

This class defines a set of constraints for a constrained optimization problem. The constraints define a feasible regions for the domain values of the objective function.

Here, the constraints are represented as a set of real valued functions that can take different signs: =, ≤, ≥.

E.g., h_i(x) = 0 g_j(x) ≤ 0

The conditions are further specified in the sub-classes.
