Mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) optimisation constitutes a critical methodology in tackling complex decision-making problems where both discrete choices and continuous variables are ...

This paper develops a new algorithm for solving the general nonlinear programming problem that melds the flexible simplex search of Nelder and Mead with various additional rules to take care of ...
