I'm working on a very fast implementation of the Nelder-Mead algorithm for optimizing functions. This is a particularly good algorithm if the function is noisy, or is not smooth.
Is it in SAGE already? If not, I'd be happy to release my code to SAGE under the whatever license once it is debugged and commented. But if it is already in SAGE I probably won't invest time in cleaning up the code. I think sometimes when you have an algorithm with 3-5 parameters and you want to find the optimal setting of them, this would be a good method to use, because the performance time is likely to vary noisily versus the parameters. Inversely, if you are interesting in the algorithm, I can accelerate this project. Let me know. ---Greg --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
