Scipy minimize successfully terminates, but doesn’t fulfill inequality constraints

I'm trying to minimize the function 0.5*(x^2+y^2) subject to a series (N=20) of inequality constraints of the form x a1+y a2+a3 z >= 1. The solution should be around x=0.50251, y=-0.5846, z=0.36787. The routine terminates with the message…

Confidence interval for result of multivariate minimization/fitting

I have a set of observations [x(t), y(t)], which I try to fit to a certain assumption: x=Fx(ax, bx, t), y=Fy(ay, by, t). Fx and Fy are linear, but the noise of observations is significantly not gaussian. For this I perform minimization of a…

Problems with minimizing 2-dimenshional function in Python's scipy.optimize

I want to minimize 2-dimenshional function and have such Python code: def f(x,y): return (x-1.0)**2 + (y-2.0)**2 res = minimize(f, x0 = [0.0,0.0], bounds = ((-5,5),(-5,5)), method = 'L-BFGS-B') And it doesn't work, because of such error (this…

Python: Minimization of a function with potentially random outputs

I'm looking to minimize a function with potentially random outputs. Traditionally, I would use something from the scipy.optimize library, but I'm not sure if it'll still work if the outputs are not deterministic. Here's a minimal example of the…

SciPy's scipy.optimize.minimize not obeying constraints

I'm trying to fit a parabola using SciPy's optimize.minimize to some scattered data according to some constraints: the area under the curve and that the curve passes through the initial and end points of the data. Here the curve_fit works fine, but…

Finding a fast optimization algorithm to solve a non-linear equation with unique positive solution

Goal: Find a fast algorithm in Python that solves the function f(x) below for its positive solution. def f(x): return (l / ((np.tile(r, (n, 1)).transpose() / D / (np.tile(x, (n, 1)) / D).sum(axis = 0)).sum(axis = 1))) - x l, r, and x are…
