New Scientist takes a look at the simplex algorithm, now over 60 years old, which is used by everyone from fruit suppliers to banks to make decisions about non-linear problems with so many ...

YOU MIGHT not have heard of the algorithm that runs the world. Few people have, though it can determine much that goes on in our day-to-day lives: the food we have to eat, our schedule at ...

Since the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm does not use derivatives, no termination criteria are available that are based on the gradient of the objective function. In addition to the criteria used by ...
