Arani, I was just cleaning out my Inbox, and i noticed this message, but no answer to it. If you are still interested, see "Practical Optimization Methods. With Mathematica Applications", by Ashgar Bhatti. There may be a solution in that book, which is a pretty comprehensive textbook. Also, Craig Loehr, LoehrAssociates(?) has a package of Global Optimization routines, which I use for a data fitting problem I have. It has a couple of "global nonlinear optimization with constraints" routines that might work for you. You can get further information about this from the Wolfram Site's add-ons page. -mark harder -----Original Message----- From: Arani Sinha <sinha at bernoulli.usc.edu> To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg28625] [mg27789] Non-linear programming in Mathematica >Hello, > >I would like to use Mathematica to solve a small non-linear programming >problem.
