opt : A Model Algebraic Optimization Problem.

This demo illustrates the method of successive continuation for constrained optimization problems by applying it to the following simple problem :  Find the maximum sum of coordinates on the unit sphere in $R^{5}$. Coordinate 1 is treated as the state variable. Coordinates 2-5 are treated as control parameters. For details on the successive continuation procedure see DoKeKe:91a DoKeKe:91a, DoKeKe:91b DoKeKe:91b.
