Key to NOP file names


rb.nop
codes the Rosenbrock function


fp2t1.nop
codes the problem from Chapter 2.1, and
fp2t71.nop
that from Chapter 2.7.1, of the book

C. A. Floudas and P.M. Pardalos, A collection of test problems for constrained global optimization algorithms, Lecture Notes Comp. Sci. 455, Springer, Berlin 1990.

This collection contains problems with nontrivial (general linear, or nonlinear) constraints.


jk33.nop
codes the problem on p.33 of the report

C. Jansson and O. Knüppel, A global minimization method: The multi-dimensional case, Technical Report 92.1, Hamburg-Harburg 1992.
(ps.Z file, 4807K; slow connection)

This collection contains bound constrained problems; but in the NOP format, they become constrained but structured.


whs05.nop
codes problem No. 5 from

G. Walster, E. Hansen and S. Sengupta, Test results for a global optimization algorithm, pp.272-287 in: Numerical Optimization 1984 (P.T. Boggs et al., eds), SIAM, Philadelphia 1985.

This collection contains bound constrained problems; but in the NOP format, they become constrained but structured.
