Non-Linear Programming Task

A non-linear programming task is an optimization task that requires a solution to a non-linear program (with a non-linear cost function).

• Context:
  • It can be solved by a Non-Linear Programming System (that implements a non-linear programming algorithm.
• Example(s):
  • a Quadratic Programming Task.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Linear Programming Task.
• See: Mixed Integer Programming.
