[SciPy-User] Optimization with boundary conditions

[Robert Streubel]

Hello there,

I'd like to minimize a scalar function F(a(x,y),b(x,y)) - with other words a functional - under certain boundary conditions, such as a+b<1.
Since Scipy supports minimization, I wonder if there could be a rather convenient way to imply boundary conditions. Because this condition causes a different minimum, it can not be considered recursively by a second fmin routine.
Hence, could anyway assist me, please?

Cheers
Robert
