| Language | FORTRAN | |
| Algorithm | Unconstrained optimization is performed using the conjugate gradient algorithm.
Constrained optimization is performed using a new scheme that combines multiplier methods with preconditioning and linearization techniques to accelerate convergence. | |
| Input Format | ||
| Modeling Languages link | ||
| Commercial Status | free | |
| Platform | Any machine with a reasonable amount of memory and a Fortran compiler. | |
| Remarks | The package has three main subroutines:
- min to minimize a function subject to nonlinear constraints - bmin to minimize a function subject to simple bounds on variables - lmin to minimize a function subject to linear constraints | |
