Development of a Nonlinear Programming System.

Abstract

The primary objective of this project was to provide a language that is user-oriented and which establishes an interface between optimization problems stated algebraically and computer coded algorithms for solving them. The basis for this language is a new approach for representing nonlinear functions of several variables. The class of functions to which this approach applies is called factorable functions.
