Shape Optimization

Implements the Complex Method of Constrained Optimization, as proposed by Box (1965), improved by Guin (1968) and Krus (1992), and following the method in Andresson (2001). This is capable of optimizing a "black-box" system with few constraints on the optimization function and requiring no...

It estimates the Newton Raphson optimization procedure for (m) unknowns of (n) non-linear equations. In case no Jacobian vector is presented, then the initial Jacobian vector is estimated by Broyden Method (multivariate secant approach) and it is then updated using the Sherman Morrison...
