Virginia Torczon: software

Below are links to software with which I have had at least some involvement.

Be warned that these are research codes, not commercial codes. All the software posted here has been tested and used by at least one other user besides the original author. When we are notified of programming errors encountered by other users, we make every effort to post corrections as quickly as possible. We appreciate feedback if you encounter a bug in any particular piece of software, but we assume no responsibility for the effects of any error you may encounter. Furthermore, since this software has been developed in a research environment, there is no user support; we cannot afford a "help desk" to answer questions from individual users. You are free to send an inquiry; if someone has time to handle the question, we will endeavor a response.

I suggest that you check the Last update information if you have any questions about the currency of the version posted. Please check for changes as we install both new software packages and updates of existing software packages on a routine basis.

Those of you who would prefer to avoid C++, or for whom a commercial package with user support is more attractive, may want to check out the MathWorks product Genetic Algorithm and Direct Search Toolbox 2.0, which contains Direct Search Algorithm Tools that implement pattern search methods. These tools include extensions to handle problems with bound constraints, linear equalities, linear inequalities (so long as the linear constraints are nondegenerate), and nonlinear inequalities.

Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of any of the agencies that have funded this work.
