LPs having a 'stable' objective value wrt changes in the constraint right-hand sides
I have a problem as:
$$
\begin{align}
\begin{array}{cl}
\underset{x \in \mathbb{R}^n_+}{\min} & c^\top x \\
\mathrm{s.t.} & Ax \leq \mathbf{1} \cdot b ,
\end{array}
\end{align}
$$
where $A \in ...

Maximization of a differentiable and nonlinear function over a bounded space
I have a nonlinear bi-variate optimization problem like $\max \: f(x,y)$ where $f(x,y)$ is a nonlinear and differentiable function of both variables, and $0\le x\le 1$, $\:0\le y \le ub$. In order to ...

Which MiniZinc-compatible solvers are best suited for floating decision variables and non-linear constraints?
We are working on a production scheduling problem that has both discrete ("how much to produce from good x and where") and continuous elements ("keep the workload of a production site below 0.7"),

Armijo Line Search Parameters
I am trying to compare many unconstrained optimization algorithms like gradient method, Newton method with line search, Polak-Ribiere algorithm, Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno algorithm, so on so ...
