Loehle Enterprises Releases Global Optimization 3.0
March 2, 2000--Loehle Enterprises announces the release of Global
Optimization 3.0.
Global Optimization is a collection of functions for global
nonlinear
optimization. Using the Mathematica system as an interface, it can
define
the nonlinear system to be solved and compute numeric values of functions.
Currently distributed in more than 20 countries worldwide, Global
Optimization can be used for nonlinear least-squares model estimation,
maximum likelihood analysis, financial analysis (investment allocation and
derivative hedging with quadratic programming), engineering design,
optimal control, scheduling, vehicle routing, and other applications.
Global Optimization 3.0 introduces several key updates.
- The MultiStartMin function can now accept any mix of real,
integer, and
discrete variables.
- The new function InterchangeMethod solves 0-1 integer
programming
problems
such as vehicle routing/traveling salesman, minimum spanning tree, and
scheduling problems.
- Significant speed enhancements, particularly for constrained problems,
have been implemented.
