Optimization Tools for Engineering Design Using Surrogate Functions
John E. Dennis, Moore Jr., Douglas · 2000
Our paper on Mixed Variable Pattern Search will appear in SIAM Journal on Optimization. We are awaiting referee reports on our Filter Pattern Search paper and our Analysis of Generalized Pattern Searches paper. We have received reports conditionally accepting our paper with Michael Kokkolaras, a mechanical engineering research engineer at the University of Michigan on heatshield design. In mid October, Doug Moore finished the newest release of our C++ code FOCUS. This release implements our filter pattern search method for general nonlinear programming without derivatives.
