   Xpress Optimizer Examples
   =========================

   Maximize the area of polygon of N vertices and diameter of 1
   The position of vertices is indicated as (rho,theta) coordinates
   where rho denotes the distance to the base point
   (vertex with number N) and theta the angle from the x-axis.

   Polygon example: maximise the area of an N sided polygon

   *** Demonstrating using a multimap (R^2-&gt;R^2) userfunction ***

<pre>
   Variables:

    rho   : 0..N-1   ! Distance of vertex from the base point
    theta : 0..N-1   ! Angle from x-axis

   Objective:
     (sum (i in 1..N-2) (rho(i)*rho(i-1)*sin(theta(i)-theta(i-1)))) * 0.5

   Constraints:
     Vertices in increasing degree order:
        theta(i) >= theta(i-1) +.0001  : i = 1..N-2
     Boundary conditions:
        theta(N-1) <= Pi
        0.1 <= rho(i) <= 1   : i = 0..N-2
     Third side of all triangles <= 1
        rho(i)^2 + rho(j)^2 - rho(i)*rho(j)*2*cos(theta(j)-theta(i)) <= 1    : i in 0..N-3, j in i..N-2
</pre>
 *
 * In this example we create a user function that takes two arguments and computes
 * both the sine of the difference of its arguments and the cosine of the difference
 * of its arguments.
