The reliability of a complex system was optimized by a new approach for implementing the sequential unconstrained minimization technique (SUMT) with the aid of Hooke and Jeeves pattern search and ...

This project is aimed at implementing nonlinear programming algorithms as the (un-)constrained minimization problems with the focus on their numerical expression using various programming languages.

A unified approach to load-flow, minimum-loss, and economic dispatching problems is presented. A load-flow solution is shown to coincide with the minimum of a function of the power system equations.

CasADi is a symbolic framework for numeric optimization implementing automatic differentiation in forward and reverse modes on sparse matrix-valued computational graphs. It supports self-contained ...
