This paper considers the problem of designing a controller for an unknown plant based on input/output measurements. The new design method we propose is direct (no model identificat...
This paper introduces a modified version of the well known global optimization technique named line search method. The modifications refer to the way in which the direction and th...
Background: The problem of protein structure prediction consists of predicting the functional or native structure of a protein given its linear sequence of amino acids. This probl...
We give a pattern search method for nonlinearly constrained optimization that is an adaption of a bound constrained augmented Lagrangian method first proposed by Conn, Gould, and T...
