Question

I have been checking the examples that come with Microsoft Solver Foundation for an example using the Neler-Mead solver. The samples website says there is one, but when I open the NLP sample written in C#, all I see is the Compact Quasi-Newton solver example called SineX.

Anyone find the sample in question, or have any other samples using the Nelder-Mead solver?

MSF Sample list on MSDN (shows two NLP samples, but I only see one)

Answer 1

The Solver Foundation samples do not appear to contain any explicit Nelder-Mead examples in C#. However, you can easily test Nelder-Mead in the SineX sample by replacing the compact Quasi-Newton solver and parameters with their Nelder-Mead correspondents:

var solver = new NelderMeadSolver();
...
var param = new NelderMeadSolverParams();
