minimize

I am using the scipy.optimize module to find optimal input weights that would minimize my output. From the examples I've seen, we define the constraint with a one-sided equation; then we create a variable that's of the type 'inequality'. My question is how does the optimization package know whether the sum of the variables in my constraint need to be smaller than 1 or larger than 1? ... def constraint1(x): return x[0]+x[1]+x[2]+x[3]-1 .... con1 = {'type': 'ineq', 'fun': constraint1} link to full solution I'm using in my example: http://apmonitor.com/che263/index.php/Main/PythonOptimization

I'm using scipy.optimize.minimize to optimize a real-world problem for which the answers can only be integers. My current code looks like this: from scipy.optimize import minimize def f(x): return (481.79/(5+x[0]))+(412.04/(4+x[1]))+(365.54/(3+x[2]))+(375.88/(3+x[3]))+(379.75/(3+x[4]))+(632.92/(5+x[5]))+(127.89/(1+x[6]))+(835.71/(6+x[7]))+(200.21/(1+x[8])) def con(x): return sum(x)-7 cons = {'type':'eq', 'fun': con} print scipy.optimize.minimize(f, [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0], constraints=cons, bounds=([0,7],[0,7],[0,7],[0,7],[0,7],[0,7],[0,7],[0,7],[0,7])) This yields: x: array([ 2.91950510e-16, 2

I basically want to minimise some div's . Instead of using "-" and "+", I want to use some symbols (from font-awesome) to minimise and maximise the div's. My question concerning this; how can I insert the classes of the icons in this piece of code? I tried by replacing the .html part with .attr, but that didn't worked out. <script> $(".btn-minimize").click(function(){ if($(this).html() == "-"){ $(this).html("+"); } else{ $(this).html("-"); } $(".widget-content").slideToggle(); }); </script> Thanks a lot. Update: Thanks a lot for your help so far. But the sibling part doesn't really fit me

I have two forms. I need to open a second form with a button. When I open form2 I hide form1. However when I try to show form1 again from form2 with a button it doesn't work. My form1 code is: Form2 form2 = new Form2(); form2.ShowDialog(); Inside form2 code: Form1.ActiveForm.ShowDialog(); or Form1.ActiveForm.Show(); or form1.show(); (form1 doesn't exist in the current context) doesn't work. I do not want to open a new form Form1 form1 = new Form1(); form1.ShowDialog(); I want show the form which I hided before. Alternatively I can minimize it to taskbar this.WindowState = FormWindowState

How do I detect when my Compact Framework application is being smart-minimized (smart minimize is what happens when the user clicks the "X" button in the top-right corner on a Pocket PC)? The Deactivate event isn't the right way because it occurs in circumstances other than minimization, such as when a message box or another form is shown on top of the main form. And the form's WindowState doesn't help because there is no "Minimized" WindowState on .NET CF. I heard that by setting MinimizeBox = false, my app will be closed instead of minimized. But I actually don't want my app to close, I just
