Constrained nonlinear minimization method - write a bounded variable constrained nonlinear minimization subroutine based on the skeleton in file C4.FOR . No diskette is required for this assignment. You may use any method you choose, however I recommend a penalty function approach using the unconstrained method you developed. Test your method on at least three constrained problems from your text book and present the results in your report. You will probably use this code in your term project.
Projects reflect the student's initiative and creativity.
Each student shall write a code to solve an optimal engineering design problem, of his or her choice, and present the results in a memo design report , with grade sheet , and in an oral presentation to the class during finals week. Use the optimization code you have developed in this course. I expect to see at least 5 references in the bibliography, at least one of which must present a solution to the problem you selected. I expect you to compare your solution to that of the author. Find a friend to study with.
