Jesus Lago Garcia submitted an update to the optidef package. Version: 3.0 2018-07-19 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Environments for writing optimization problems Announcement text:
Optidef version 3.0 has now been released. Besides correcting some long-standing issues, the library can now split optimization problems across multiple pages and has a global option for defining the constraint format.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/optidef The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/optidef/

optidef – Environments for writing optimization problems

This small library provides a standard set of environments for writing optimization problems.

It automatically aligns the problems in three points with an optional fourth:

  • Beginning of the words “minimize/argmin” and “subject to”
  • The objective function and the longest left hand side of the constraints.
  • The $= | > | <$ signs of the constraints.
  • Optionally, the user can add manually a double align character && to align some common constraints feature. A clear example could be the constraints names, e.g. (boundary constraint) alignment with (dynamic constraint).

Furthermore, it provides an easy interface to define optimization problem for three different reference situations:

  • Where no equation is referenced/numbered.
  • Where the problem is referenced with a single number.
  • Where each equation has an individual reference.

Finally, it also allows a definition of any optimization problem without a limitless number of constraints.
