OPTECH SOLUTIONS

All types of global optimization problems, both constrained and/or unconstrained linear and/or nonlinear. Works particularly well on large constrained quadratic least squares analysis.

The OPTECH SOLUTIONS package uses a guided stochastic search. Candidate solutions are tested for constraint satisfaction 'on the fly' and recycled until satisfaction is achieved at each step. Bounds are introduced in the same fashion.

OPTECH SOLUTIONS is Fortran 90 compliant. Single- and double-precision versions are available. There are no machine dependencies.
