Abstract: The Nelder-Mead simplex method is a well-known algorithm enabling the minimization of functions that are not available in closed-form and that need not be differentiable or convex.

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...

ABSTRACT: In this work, a new method is presented for determining the binding constraints of a general linear maximization problem. The new method uses only objective function values at points which ...

Despite decades of explosive growth in computing power, despite far more and deeper mathematical and computer science knowledge, despite far more scientists working in the field of algorithms, it is ...

About 35 minutes into the London Marathon, I found myself in a good running groove. My legs felt strong, my stride relaxed, and my breathing easy. I can do this! I told myself. I was relieved to find ...

Since its creation more than two decades ago by Daniel Spielman (above) and Shang-hua Teng, smoothed analysis has been used to analyze performance of algorithms other than the simplex method, ...
