Try adding a penalty term, e,g, lambda <- 1e3 f <- function(x) crossprod(x-a) + lambda * (crossprod(x, b) - 50)^2 optim(a, f) On Jan 30, 2008 12:01 PM, Attiglah, Mama <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi room, > Is there any R package that solves a non linear objective pb, with > linear equalit

[R] Non linear optimising with a linear equality constraints

2008-01-30 Thread Attiglah, Mama
Hi room, Is there any R package that solves a non linear objective pb, with linear equality constraint? A simple example a =c (2, 5, 6, 7, 2) b = c (7, 1, 4, 5, 6) a and b are vectors of length 5 minimise f(x, a) = sum( (x-a)^2) such that sum( x*b) = 50. where x is the control var
