SciPy (de facto standard for scientific Python) has scipy.optimize solver, which includes several nonlinear programming algorithms (zero-order, first order and second order ones). IPOPT (C++ implementation, with numerous interfaces including C, Fortran, Java, AMPL, R, Python, etc.) is an interior point method solver (zero-order, and optionally ...
Given a system transforming a set of inputs to output values, described by a mathematical function f, optimization refers to the generation and selection of the best solution from some set of available alternatives, [1] by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set, computing the value of the function, and recording the best value found during the process.
An input-consuming logic gate L is reversible if it meets the following conditions: (1) L(x) = y is a gate where for any output y, there is a unique input x; (2) The gate L is reversible if there is a gate L´(y) = x which maps y to x, for all y. An example of a reversible logic gate is a NOT, which can be described from its truth table below:
Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) is an iterative method for constrained nonlinear optimization, also known as Lagrange-Newton method.SQP methods are used on mathematical problems for which the objective function and the constraints are twice continuously differentiable, but not necessarily convex.
The transformation is easy to describe if the circuit is wholly constructed out of 2-input NAND gates (a functionally-complete set of Boolean operators): assign every net in the circuit a variable, then for each NAND gate, construct the conjunctive normal form clauses (v 1 ∨ v 3) ∧ (v 2 ∨ v 3) ∧ (¬v 1 ∨ ¬v 2 ∨ ¬v 3), where v 1 ...
To use this fault model, each input pin on each gate in turn, is assumed to be grounded, and a test vector is developed to indicate the circuit is faulty. The test vector is a collection of bits to apply to the circuit's inputs, and a collection of bits expected at the circuit's output.

It is a direct search method (based on function comparison) and is often applied to nonlinear optimization problems for which derivatives may not be known. However, the Nelder–Mead technique is a heuristic search method that can converge to non-stationary points [ 1 ] on problems that can be solved by alternative methods.
