Nonlinear programmes are one of the most general types of [[MathematicalProgramming][mathematical programmes]]. The form of a nonlinear programme is:

%BEGINLATEX%
\[
\begin{array}{rr@{}l}
\min & f(& x) \\
\text{subject to} & g(& x) \left\{ \begin{matrix} \leq \\ = \\ \geq \end{matrix} \right\} 0
\end{array}
\] 
%ENDLATEX%

where %$f(x)$% and %$g(x)$% are any mathematical expression (cf. linear expressions for linear programming).
