Maple Global Optimization Toolbox
The Maple Global Optimization Toolbox helps you find the best possible solution to your optimization problems. When faced with non-linear decision models that have a number of local solutions, global optimization techniques allow you to determine the most efficient, optimal solution rather than merely a feasible, sub-optimal one. By implementing the optimal solution, you can produce superior designs and operations, and reduce expenses in terms of reliability, time, money, and other resources.
This toolbox is powered by Optimus technology from Noesis Solutions. Optimus is a platform for simulation process integration and design optimization that includes powerful optimization algorithms. This same proven optimization technology is available to Maple users as the engine behind the Global Optimization Toolbox. With this toolbox, you can formulate optimization models easily inside the powerful Maple numeric and symbolic system, and then use world-class optimization technology to return the best answer robustly and efficiently.
Let us show you how to find the best solutions in your optimization projects
Incorporates the following solver modules for nonlinear optimization problems.
Differential Evolution Algorithm
Adaptive Stochastic Search Methods
Global solution further refined using the local optimization solvers in Maple
Solves models with thousands of variables and constraints.
Solvers take advantage of Maple arbitrary precision capabilities in their calculations, to greatly reduce numerical instability problems.
Supports arbitrary objective and constraint functions, including those defined in terms of special functions (for example, Bessel, hypergeometric), derivatives and integrals, and piecewise functions etc. Functions can also be defined in terms of a Maple procedure rather than a formula.
Interactive Maplet™ assistant for easy problem definition and exploration.
Built-in model visualization capabilities for viewing one or two-dimensional subspace projections of the objective function, with visualization of the constraints as planes or lines on the objective surface.
Application Areas
Global optimization problems are prevalent in systems described by highly nonlinear models. These areas include:
