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 ...

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 ...
