No algorithm for optimizing general nonlinear functions exists that will always find the global optimum for a general nonlinear minimization problem in a reasonable amount of time. Since no single ...

Anderson acceleration is an optimisation technique designed to improve the convergence of fixed-point iterations, a common approach utilised in solving nonlinear equations. By blending current and ...

There are three groups of optimization techniques available in PROC NLP. A particular optimizer can be selected with the TECH=name option in the PROC NLP statement. Since no single optimization ...
