Does anyone have source code in C# or Java for BFGS or a similar optimisation algorithm?Characteristics of my problem:1) low(ish) number of dimensions 2-7.2) Relatively smooth3) Very expensive to compute4) Analytic derivatives not available but numerical derivatives built up from previous evaluations should be useful.I'm currently using the downhill simplex method (very easy to knock up quickly) but it's slow due to the high number of function evaluations. Any suggestions or comments welcome.Thanks,Russ

i'd suggest porting one of the "Numerical Recipes in C" routines - shouldn't be too laborious!!

you can find some source codes using google. I think most of them follow the Numerical Recipes.

Adaptive Simulated Annealing or genetic optimization (GALib), both have open source code. Just search google.Cheers,Anton

Take a look at our new Software Development Kit at
www.solver.com. Not free, but the software engineering has been done for you. There are a variety of optmisation algorithms.
