<p> A description is given of the multi-technique nonlinear optimization system called OPTIPAC.</p> <p> The overall organization of the program is outlined and the significant features of each of the method subroutines are discussed. Considerable emphasis has been placed on the documentation for the system, and the two manuals which have been written are described briefly. The results of three test problems are included to demonstrate the value of having a variety of techniques in the package.</p> <p> A preliminary evaluation of OPTIPAC's performance is given, with relevant suggestions for further development.</p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
