sparsediff: R Interface to the 'SparseDiffEngine' Sparse Differentiation
Backend
Bindings for the 'SparseDiffEngine' C library, the sparse
Jacobian and Hessian differentiation backend used by 'CVXPY' for its
Disciplined Nonlinear Programming (DNLP) extension. Provides low-level
routines for building nonlinear expression graphs and evaluating sparse
derivatives, intended as a backend for higher-level modeling layers such
as 'CVXR'. This is the R analog of the 'sparsediffpy' Python
package and wraps the same C library.
