| IOSO NS | Using IOSO NS, you can quickly
and efficiently solve non-linear parametric optimization problem with dimensionality up
to 5 independent variables and 5 functional inequality constraints.
Family of IOSO NS versions utilizes set of heuristic self-organizing optimization algorithms.
These algorithms are based on usage of owner-developed approximation technology. At every
iteration of search for optimum response surfaces are being built for objective and
constrained parameters, then these response surfaces are being optimized. Thus, the number
of direct calls to mathematical model is minimized, and time expenditures for problem
solution are also minimal.
Using approximation technology makes it possible to solve successfully problems with complex
topology of objective and constraints. Unlike the gradient methods, IOSO NS works robustly
with discontinuous, non-differentiatable, noised and locally incomputable objectives and
constraints.
