Bindings for the 'SparseDiffEngine' C library, the sparse Jacobian and Hessian differentiation backend used by 'CVXPY' for its Disciplined Nonlinear Programming (DNLP) extension. Provides low-level routines for building nonlinear expression graphs and evaluating sparse derivatives, intended as a backend for higher-level modeling layers such as 'CVXR'. This is the R analog of the 'sparsediffpy' Python package and wraps the same C library.
