MINPACK
MINPACK is a free, portable library for solving nonlinear systems
of equations and nonlinear least squares problems.
Recommendation: Use MINPACK if free software is vital to your
application. Otherwise, look for optimization software provided by
vendors, targeted for the computer on which you are working.
-
Documentation: usage instructions are available as comment lines in
netlib's minpack directory.
Library overview documentation is available as the readme file in
netlib's minpack directory.
-
Source code: you may obtain Fortran source from netlib's minpack directory.
-
NCAR users: the MINPACK binary library is available to NCAR computer users,
for linking with Fortran programs, on some of SCD's compute-servers. See
"SCD Computers, Products, and Libraries" for the names of those computers.
If you have questions about linking the binary library on these NCAR systems,
please see
"Linking SCD's Local Fortran Math Libraries".
