[comp.sources.wanted] need source for fletcher-powell gradient search algorithm

baud@gt-eedsp.UUCP (Kurt Baudendistel) (09/03/88)

I'm looking for published source code for the Fletcher-Powell
gradient-search algorithm.
Paper or computer-readable--either is fine.
This algorithm is commonly used for multi-variable optimatization
where the cost function is non-linear.
It is available from IMSL, I believe,
but I need a public version.
Please respond to this query directly with e-mail--
I don't regularly participate in this newsgroup.
Thanks.
