Jesus Lago Garcia submitted an update to the
optidef
package.
Version number: 1.0 2016-06-10
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Provides a standard set of environments for writing
minimization problems
Announcement text:
Simplification of the original library. - No need to use 2 commands to add constraints. Now a single command \addConstraint works fine. - No need to indicate the number of constraints. - Parameters complexity reduced from 4 to 7. - Added a second output format.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/optidef More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/optidef We are supported by the TeX users groups. Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Erik Braun

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.
