Optimization Methods

The optimization methods described in this chapter attempt to minimize a given objective function. There are several ways to do this and COPASI supports many different methods for the minimization of an objective function.

• Evolutionary Programming
• Evolutionary Strategy (SRES)
• Genetic Algorithm
• Genetic Algorithm SR
• Hooke & Jeeves
• Levenberg - Marquardt
• Nelder - Mead
• NL2SOL
• Particle Swarm
• Praxis
• Random Search
• Simulated Annealing
• Steepest Descent
• Truncated Newton
