ratiofun: Rational Objective Function

In optiSolve: Linear, Quadratic, and Rational Optimization

Description

Define a rational objective function of the form

f(x) = (x' Q1 x + a1 x + d1)/(x' Q2 x + a2 x + d2)

Usage

ratiofun(Q1, a1=rep(0, nrow(Q1)), d1=0, Q2, a2=rep(0, nrow(Q2)), d2=0, 
   id=1:nrow(Q1), name="ratio.fun")

Arguments

Q1	Numeric quadratic matrix.
a1	Numeric vector.
d1	Numeric value.
Q2	Numeric quadratic matrix.
a2	Numeric vector.
d2	Numeric value.
id	Vector defining the names of the variables to which the constraint applies. Each variable name corresponds to one component of x. Variable names must be consistent across constraints.
name	Name for the constraint.

Details

Define a rational ofjective function of the form

f(x) = (x' Q1 x + a1 x + d1)/(x' Q2 x + a2 x + d2)

Reasonable bounds for the variables should be provided because the function can have several local optima. Solvers 'slsqp' (the default) and 'alabama' are recommended.

Value

An object of class ratioFun.

The main function for solving constrained programming problems is solvecop.
