/**
 * Constrained Optimization BY Linear Approximation in Java.
 *
 * COBYLA2 is an implementation of Powell's nonlinear derivative free constrained optimization that uses
 * a linear approximation approach. The algorithm is a sequential trust region algorithm that employs linear
 * approximations to the objective and constraint functions, where the approximations are formed by linear
 * interpolation at n + 1 points in the space of the variables and tries to maintain a regular shaped simplex
 * over iterations.
 *
 * It solves nonsmooth NLP with a moderate number of variables (about 100). Inequality constraints only.
 *
 * The initial point X is taken as one vertex of the initial simplex with zero being another, so, X should
 * not be entered as the zero vector.

        //     N components.  The algorithm employs linear approximations to the
        //     objective and constraint functions, the approximations being formed by
        //     linear interpolation at N+1 points in the space of the variables.
        //     We regard these interpolation points as vertices of a simplex.  The
        //     parameter RHO controls the size of the simplex and it is reduced
        //     automatically from RHOBEG to RHOEND.  For each RHO the subroutine tries
        //     to achieve a good vector of variables for the current size, and then
        //     RHO is reduced until the value RHOEND is reached.  Therefore RHOBEG and
        //     RHOEND should be set to reasonable initial changes to and the required
        //     accuracy in the variables respectively, but this accuracy should be
        //     viewed as a subject for experimentation because it is not guaranteed.
        //     The subroutine has an advantage over many of its competitors, however,
        //     which is that it treats each constraint individually when calculating
        //     a change to the variables, instead of lumping the constraints together
        //     into a single penalty function.  The name of the subroutine is derived
        //     from the phrase Constrained Optimization BY Linear Approximations.

        //     The user must set the values of N, M, RHOBEG and RHOEND, and must
        //     provide an initial vector of variables in X.  Further, the value of
        //     IPRINT should be set to 0, 1, 2 or 3, which controls the amount of
        //     printing during the calculation. Specifically, there is no output if
        //     IPRINT=0 and there is output only at the end of the calculation if
        //     IPRINT=1.  Otherwise each new value of RHO and SIGMA is printed.
        //     Further, the vector of variables and some function information are
        //     given either when RHO is reduced or when each new value of F(X) is
        //     computed in the cases IPRINT=2 or IPRINT=3 respectively. Here SIGMA
        //     is a penalty parameter, it being assumed that a change to X is an
        //     improvement if it reduces the merit function
        //                F(X)+SIGMA*MAX(0.0, - C1(X), - C2(X),..., - CM(X)),
        //     where C1,C2,...,CM denote the constraint functions that should become
        //     nonnegative eventually, at least to the precision of RHOEND. In the
        //     printed output the displayed term that is multiplied by SIGMA is
        //     called MAXCV, which stands for 'MAXimum Constraint Violation'.  The
        //     argument ITERS is an integer variable that must be set by the user to a
        //     limit on the number of calls of CALCFC, the purpose of this routine being
        //     given below.  The value of ITERS will be altered to the number of calls
