can anyone show me examples or reviews for constrained nonlinear optimization in Microsoft Solver foundation 3.0? How\'s it compared to Matlab\'s fmincon? Or is there any better
I don't have much experience with Microsoft Solver Foundation myself, but there is a nice article that demonstrate how to use it from F#:
For F#, there is also an embedded modeling language - this allows you to just write your constraints as ordinary F# expressions (wrapped in quotations) and the interpreter for this language calls Microsoft Solver Foundation with appropriate constraints created (I think this is totally awesome!):
