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 ...

Conditions which are necessary and sufficient for convergence of a nonlinear programming algorithm are stated. It is also shown that the convergence conditions can be easily applied to most ...

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 ...

The NLP procedure (NonLinear Programming) offers a set of optimization techniques for minimizing or maximizing a continuous nonlinear function f(x) of n decision variables, x = (x 1, ... ,x n) T with ...
