I’m trying to replicate a code of Sigmoidal programming for my optimization problem. The example uses a code where they pass in a list of functions. fs = fill(logistic, nvar) dfs = fill(logistic_prime, nvar) The output shows a list of functions. 200-element Vector{typeof(logistic_prime)}: logist…

Those are still generic functions, just anonymous ones (which you made with x -> x^b syntax but also could’ve done function (x) x^b end), so you get an automatically generated name. var"#49#50" is the name of the function’s type, so var"#49#50"() is an instance of that type, thus the function itself…

The fs and dfs are from the sigmoidal programming library mentioned in the link earlier and they are not in my code. I just copied one of the examples in the repo and ran it on my system. That seems to work but when I do it myself, it throws up errors. states, actions are used to define the constra…
