Solving Spatial Optimization Problems via Lagrangian Relaxation and Automatic Gradient Computation by Zhen Lei, Ting L. Lei

“…As such, the human expert only needs to implement the Lagrangian problem in a scientific computing language (such as Python), and the system can find the (sub)gradients of this code, even if it contains complex loops and conditional statements. We verify that the autograd version of the algorithm is equivalent to the original version with manually derived gradients. …”
