Kaufman, E. H. jun.; Leeming, D. J.; Taylor, G. D. An ODE-based approach to nonlinearly constrained minimax problems. (English) Zbl 0824.65039 Numer. Algorithms 9, No. 1-2, 25-37 (1995). The paper presents an algorithm for solving a standard nonlinear programming problem (optimization problem with a finite number of equality-inequality constraints and smooth data). Each iteration of the algorithm solves approximately a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations to get a direction for the line search. The authors claim that their code is more robust, although slower, than several library routines.
