...Comment in code says two papers describing underlying math are in ftp://ece.nwu.edu/pub/lbfgs/lbfgs_bcm/ but that directory seems not to exist. (Actually, the comment does not give a URL - it just says to look in that directory on that FTP server.) Paper [1] does exist in ftp://ece.nwu.edu/pub/nocedal/papers/sisc95.ps Nocedal's bibliography page for L-BGFS-B is http://www.ece.nwu.edu/~nocedal/lbfgsb.html which points to .ps.gz forms of both papers. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~horn...

Hi. I just noticed the paper by Morales and Nocedal Remark on "Algorithm 778: L-BFGS-B: Fortran Subroutines for Large-Scale Bound Constrained Optimization". TOMS 2011; 38(1): 7 http://www.ece.northwestern.edu/~morales/PSfiles/acm-remark.pdf which describes a couple of improvements (speed and accuracy) to the original Netlib code which...

...directed me to optimx. It returned NAs for essentially everything. See my email of this subject stamped 4:43 PM Central time = 21:43 UTC. 2. It would be interesting to know if the current algorithm behind optim and optimx with method='L-BFGS-B' incorporates Morales and Nocedal (2011) 'Remark on ?Algorithm 778: L-BFGS-B: Fortran Subroutines for Large-Scale Bound Constrained Optimization?'. I created this vignette and started this threat hoping that someone on the R Core team might decide it's worth checking things like that. 3. The vignette...

Hi, I would like to call R's lbfgsb function from my C/C++ code by including R_ext/Applic.h and linking against libR. Currently, I am allocating memory for x (and the other input arrays for lbfgsb) in my C/C++ code via malloc/new. However, this gives a segmentation fault when executing the program. I tried to allocate x via PROTECT(x = NEW_NUMERIC(n)); x_p = NUMERIC_POINTER(x);. This compiles

Dear list, The task view on optimization does not reference a package for non linear constrained optimization problems. Stefan Theussl told me to look at the Rsolnp package, but unfortunately it is not very clear what method is R ported. (The authors ported the matlab code of Yinyu Ye http://www.stanford.edu/~yyye/ <http://www.stanford.edu/%7Eyyye/>) Currently I'm looking for an

_______________________________________________________________________________________ Hi, I was just wondering if there was any available R code that could handle general constrained optimisation problems. At the moment I'm using nlminb and optim, both of which allow box constraints on the parameters, but ideally I'd like to be able to specify more general constraints on the solution

Hi All, Is the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm available in R. This method combines the steepest descent algorithm and Newton's method.

Hello: The development version of Ecdat on R-Forge contains a vignette in which optim(?, method=?L-BFGS-B?) stops with an error message while violating the lower bound. To see all the details, try the following: install.packages("Ecdat", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org") Then do "help(pac=Ecdat)" -> "User guides, package
