Hi Matthew, What kind of constraint ? 1) f(c1,c2,...) = 0 where c_i are the variables or 2) f(c1,c2,...) < 0 Case 1 is simple: just add a Lagrangian multiplier(s) to your objective function that you are minimizing in TMinuit. Case 2 is far more difficult Eddy > X-Authentication-Warning: harper.uchicago.edu: mdwood owned process doing -bs > Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2003 16:18:17 -0600 (CST) > From: Matthew Wood <mdwood@midway.uchicago.edu> > X-Sender: mdwood@harper.uchicago.edu > To: roottalk@pcroot.cern.ch > Subject: [ROOT] Fitting with Constraints > MIME-Version: 1.0 > > Hi.
