The Box Optimization Method.

Abstract

A computer program is presented together with a discussion of the methodology for determining the maximum of a function by a search procedure. This program does not use derivatives or finite difference representation of derivatives. The function may depend on several variables (up to about 30) and there may exist side constraints.
