Guess there's no need to use pracma or nloptr. `eval_f0` returns the error
message as function `f(x, y)` when called in an integration routine cannot
decide which variable to integrate over.
You don't provide code, so here is a simple example:
f <- function(x, y) sin(y) * cos(x * y)
eval_f0 <- function(x) integrate(function(y) f(x, y), 0, pi)$value
optimize(eval_f0, c(0, 2*pi))
## minimum: 1.652188
## objective: -0.844125
In your code, x is a scalar. But if x is a vector, applying nloptr might be a
choice:
f <- function(x, y) sin(y) * cos((x[1]+x[2])*y)
eval_f0 <- function(x) integrate(function(y) f(x, y), 0, pi)$value
eval_g0 <- function(x) x[1]^2 + x[2]^2 - 1 # i.e., sum(x^2) <= 1
nloptr( x0=c(0.5, 0.5),
eval_f=eval_f0,
lb = c(0, 0),
ub = c(1, 1),
eval_g_ineq = eval_g0,
opts = list("algorithm"="NLOPT_LN_COBYLA", "maxeval"=1000))
## Optimal value of objective function: -0.733744658465974
## Optimal value of controls: 0.707091 0.7071225
