Target values for the nonlinear equality constraint

How to scale each nonlinear constraint

Optional

scales

Characteristic values to scale each nonlinear constraint

Description

Specifies the number of nonlinear equality constraint functions returned by the interface.

The targets specification provides the targets for nonlinear equalities of the form

\[h(x) = h_t\]

and the defaults for the equality targets enforce a value of 0. for each constraint

\[h(x) = 0.0\]

The scale_types and scales keywords are related to scaling of \(h \left( x \right)\) . See the scaling information under specific methods, e.g., method-*-scaling for details on how to use this keyword.
