An overview of nonlinear programming, focusing on independent variables, cost functional, and constraints. It covers special cases for both cost functional and constraints, including linear functions, quadratic functions, and non-smooth nonlinear functions. The document also touches upon vector spaces, subspaces, inner-product spaces, and linear operators.
