Overview of sageopt’s structure

Sageopt version 0.3 is divided into three subpackages:

1. sageopt.symbolic,

2. sageopt.relaxations, and

3. sageopt.coniclifts.

Most users will first want to read documentation for sageopt.symbolic. This tells you how to construct and use Signomial and Polynomial objects, which you will need to define optimization problems or nonnegativity problems.

• Signomial objects
• Polynomial objects

Once you know how to instantiate Signomial and Polynomial objects, you will want to use the sageopt.relaxations subpackage to manage building a SAGE relaxation, solving that SAGE relaxation, and working with the solution.

• SAGE signomials
  • optimization
  • certificates of nonnegativity
  • helper functions
• SAGE polynomials
  • optimization
  • certificates of nonnegativity
  • helper functions

If the relaxations subpackage does not contain some functionality which you need, then it should be possible to implement that functionality using sageopt.coniclifts as a basic, high-level modeling interface.

• Coniclifts
