>                 Key: MATH-1394

>             Project: Commons Math
>          Issue Type: New Feature

>            Reporter: Burton Patkau
>             Fix For: 4.X

>
> An open source implementation of the DIRECT global optimizer, described by 
> Jones, Perttunen and Stuckmann, implementing 
> math3.optim.nonlinear.scalar.MultivariateOptimizer, is available as 
> DIRECTOptimizer.java at 
> https://github.com/edwardkort/WWIDesigner/tree/optimizer/WWIDesigner/src/main/com/wwidesigner/math.
>   There are also three variants of the algorithm on that page: 
> DIRECT_L_Optimizer implements DIRECT-L by Gablonsky and Kelley, 
> DIRECT1Optimizer changes which sides are chosen for dividing, and 
> DIRECTCOptimizer adds alternative ways to select potentially-optimal 
> hyperrectangles.
> DIRECT is not as fast as BOBYQA, but is better at finding a global minimum in 
> a field of many local minima.
> JUnit tests for all of these, using standard optimizer test functions, are 
> available in 
> https://github.com/edwardkort/WWIDesigner/tree/optimizer/WWIDesigner/src/test/com/wwidesigner/math.
