I found very scarce documentation about this.
https://nlopt.readthedocs.io/en/stable/NLopt_Reference/#preconditioning-with-approximate-hessians
This only describes the C interface, and it seems to only support the method LD_CCSAQ
.
So how can I pass a preconditioner in Julia? Is it possible to pass a preconditioner to other methods (in particular LBFGS)? Can I pass a sparse Hessian approximation (e.g., a diagonal matrix)?
I also opened a Github issue as a feature request: How to pass preconditioner? · Issue #122 · JuliaOpt/NLopt.jl · GitHub.
