This procedure and the dual simplex method are then incorporated into a general purpose algorithm; then, a modification of it using a perturbation technique is made in order to handle highly ...

The original Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm is implemented and extended to boundary constraints. This algorithm does not compute the objective for infeasible points, but it changes the shape of the ...

Its services are called upon thousands of times a second to ensure the world's business runs smoothly – but are its mathematics as dependable as we thought?
