# CHANGELOG:
# 2023-02-11: Tweaks for efficiency and readability (Avraham Adler)
# 2024-06-04: Switched desired direction of the hin/hinjac inequalities, leaving
#       the old behavior as the default for now. Also cleaned up the HS100
#       example (Avraham Adler).

#' Conservative Convex Separable Approximation with Affine Approximation plus
#' Quadratic Penalty
#'
#' This is a variant of CCSA ("conservative convex separable approximation")
#' which, instead of constructing local MMA approximations, constructs simple
#' quadratic approximations (or rather, affine approximations plus a quadratic
#' penalty term to stay conservative)
#'
#' @param x0 starting point for searching the optimum.
#' @param fn objective function that is to be minimized.
#' @param gr gradient of function \code{fn}; will be calculated numerically if
#' not specified.
#' @param lower,upper lower and upper bound constraints.
#' @param hin function defining the inequality constraints, that is
#' \code{hin>=0} for all components.
#' @param hinjac Jacobian of function \code{hin}; will be calculated
#' numerically if not specified.
#' @param nl.info logical; shall the original NLopt info been shown.
#' @param control list of options, see \code{nl.opts} for help.
#' @param deprecatedBehavior logical; if \code{TRUE} (default for now), the old
#' behavior of the Jacobian function is used, where the equality is \eqn{\ge 0}
#' instead of \eqn{\le 0}. This will be reversed in a future release and
#' eventually removed.
#' @param ... additional arguments passed to the function.
#'
#' @return List with components:
#'   \item{par}{the optimal solution found so far.}
#'   \item{value}{the function value corresponding to \code{par}.}
#'   \item{iter}{number of (outer) iterations, see \code{maxeval}.}
#'   \item{convergence}{integer code indicating successful completion (> 1)
#'   or a possible error number (< 0).}
#'   \item{message}{character string produced by NLopt and giving additional
#'   information.}
