Algorithm 566: FORTRAN, subroutines for testing unconstrained optimization software (C5), (E4)

Journal Article · · ACM Trans. Math. Software; (United States)
A partial listing of the FORTRAN package of subroutines for testing unconstrained optimazation software is given with a brief description of the subroutines. The following three problem areas are considered: (1) zeros of systems of N nonlinear functions in N variables; (2) least square minimization of M nonlinear functions in N variables; (3) unconstrained minimization of an objective function with N variables. To test a code in any of the three problem areas, the user must provide a driver and interface routine. The package includes example drivers and interface routines for each of the problem areas. Sample data are also provided. (SC)
