Topics: bound-constraints, constrained-optimization, derivative-free, fortran, fortran-package-manager, nonlinear-optimization, numerical-optimization, optimization, unconstrained-optimization

Classification scope and review notes

G2 is supported by BOBYQA bound constraints and COBYLA constraints. No unconstrained subclass is inferred solely from the Powell family name.

G2h1a1

G2h1a1: verified

Derivatives / callbacks: none

Bound-constrained smooth derivative-free optimization by quadratic models; COBYLA and other algorithms are separate. Dedicated G2h1a1 driver solves the shared box quadratic from three starts without providing derivatives. Known solution (1,0), objective 2, callback bounds and projected-gradient residual are checked. The API returns no status flag, so answer checks and nonexhausted 1000-call budget determine acceptance. General convergence is not inferred from normal return.
