Tools for searching the minimum of a function with constraints ?

Hello all,

I'm looking for tools in OpenCascade that computes for example the minimum of a function (single or multi-variable) with respect of some constraints.
For example searching X that minimizes F(X) (and X > 2).

I have found math_FRPR, math_Powell, etc. but they do not accept constraints on the solution.

Do you know if OpenCascade provide such tools ? Maybe other toolkits ?
