Using just these four functions, you will be able to define any optimization and view results.
- DefineOptimization()

- OptObjective()
- OptObjectivesa()
DefineOptimization()
This function defines an optimization problem. It automatically determines the type of optimization: LP, QP, or NLP.[1] If you want to specify a particular type of optimization instead of having Analytica make the choice auto-matically, use DefineOptimization() with the optional Type parameter (see sub-section below).
When DefineOptimization() is evaluated, it returns a special object, which displays as: «LP», «QP», «QCP», «NCQCP», «NLP», or «NSP», depending on the type of problem. This object encapsulates an encoding of the problem definition that is passed to the solution functions.
Double-clicking on the special object in the DefineOptimization() evaluation window will display a new window containing details about the optimization. The new window may also contain clickable objects that let you drill down to more specific levels of detail.
