Abstract
If you read this line, this is probably because you are interested in solving some optimization problem(s), and that you hope that the LANCELOT package might help you. The purpose of this chapter is to help this hope materialize: starting from simple examples, we intend to tell you
-
how to specify the problem you are interested in, and
-
how to use LANCELOT to solve it.
We will do both at once, because this process is actually quite simple. Of course, specifying a problem and solving it are formally two different tasks, each requiring a different set of tools. This will force us to distinguish these tasks in our examples as well, but we will always try to remember that specifying the problem is only a step towards its practical solution.
