Industrial Optimization 1.4

Local Optimization for Linear, Nonlinear, and Queuing Problems

Industrial Optimization is a Mathematica application package designed to solve a wide range of optimization problems. It provides established algorithms for linear and nonlinear optimization as well as modern techniques such as genetic programming. Because the package is an add-on for Mathematica, users also have access to the Mathematica programming language and over 1,500 operations that can be used to read, prepare, and analyze data in a single application.

To help novice users begin formulating and solving their problems immediately, Industrial Optimization comes with built-in palettes, detailed explanations, and examples in both electronic and bound formats. Default behaviors have been chosen carefully to be able to handle most situations, and all functions have an extensive assortment of options that allow advanced users to specify each algorithm's behavior and output.

Regardless of the computational tool used, there are instances in which conventional algorithms like Newton's method can't find an optimum or in which convergence is very slow. For these cases, Industrial Optimization provides users with other modern and efficient techniques, such as evolutionary algorithms, to find a solution.
