A blackbox optimization software

NOMAD

 
 
Blackbox Optimization occurs typically when the functions defining the optimization problem are evaluated through a computer code.
NOMAD is a C++ software designed to solve problems of this class. The minimal requirement from the user is to provide the objective and constraints.
