The Design and Structure of a Fortran Program Library for Optimization.

Abstract

This paper discusses in substantial detail the design principles and structure of an existing Fortran program library whose primary application is to solve optimization problems. Such a discussion not only helps to clarify the scope of application for potential users of the library, but also is useful for workers on other software projects. The fundamental objectives of the present library have been to produce sound, careful implementations of reliable methods that represent the state of the art in numerical optimization. The general implications of these overall design aims are presented, as well as specific instances of the results of decisions to include particular desirable features. (Author)
