Abstract: The Nelder-Mead simplex method is a well-known algorithm enabling the minimization of functions that are not available in closed-form and that need not be differentiable or convex.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at UC Berkeley, George Dantzig—a first-year graduate student—copied two problems ...

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...

This program enables to find the optimal solution of a mathematical model with explicit formulation information using the simplex algorithm and (if the variables are integers) the branch-bound ...

An issue crossing both philosophy and computing is the ontology of algorithms, and my claim that their proper characterization is imperative crosses into linguistics as well. As the philosophy of ...

This month, Chris Bryant MP delivered the 9th annual Leveson lecture to a packed audience at Westminster University. Chris was joined by an expert panel of media voices, including The Guardian’s ...
