Re: optimisation algorithms

[Jalaluddin Abdullah]

I am preparing a book on optimization and have a draft which may be of
medium term interest in the development of Octave as the approach may be
robust and efficient especially for non-linear programming. This however
is no GPL - just for work on Octave, as the book when ready will be for
sale.

It's available as a plain dvi and as a hypertext dvi. When it's ready
probably a few freebies will be available; just ask.
