Re: minimization problem, sqp

Juan,

I read the manual before posting my question (my attempt was the result of reading it) and I did it again, but it didn't help. I still get the error "`b' undefined near line 3 column 6" and don't know how to fix it. Perhaps the problem is that fun is not just a function of x, but also of b and the psj, but, as I said, I don't know how to fix it.
