Tech, Atlanta, GA 30332 Lines: 17 I'm looking for published source code for the Fletcher-Powell gradient-search algorithm. Paper or computer-readable--either is fine. This algorithm is commonly used for multi-variable optimatization where the cost function is non-linear. It is available from IMSL, I believe, but I need a public version. Please respond to this query directly with e-mail-- I don't regularly participate in this newsgroup.
