Developed by Eve Utils

Peerless is a software that implements an optimization algorithm to solve the following type of problems

min f(x); subject to g(x) >= 0, h(x) >= 0, lb <= x <= ub

where:

• x is an element in R^n where some x_i in N (some or all can be integers)
• lb, ub in R^n with lb_i <= ub_i forall i in 1,...,n
• g : R^n -> R^m is a function that can be nonlinear, non-differentiable or discontinuous
• h : R^n -> R^p is a function that can also be nonlinear, non-differentiable or discontinuous

Documentation

Main features

• Nonlinear, non-differentiable, discontinuous. The functions f, g and h can be of any type as long as they return similar values when evaluated are the same point different times (more about this later).
• Discrete. Some or all the variables can be restricted to take integer values.
• Global. Problems can have many local and global optima.
• Stochastic. Function evaluations can be the result of a process using one or many probability distributions.
• Scenarios. A Stochastic problem can be specified by scenarios
• Parallel and distributed. Peerless can be executed in parallel or distributed mode
