This paper develops a new algorithm for solving the general nonlinear programming problem that melds the flexible simplex search of Nelder and Mead with various additional rules to take care of ...

A nonlinear programming model is developed that has as the objective function (to be minimized) total cost of the development, manufacture, and launching of a launch vehicle. Constraints on physical ...

The optimisation of gas networks has emerged as a critical field in energy systems engineering, incorporating advanced nonlinear programming techniques to address the increasing complexity of gas ...
