I have been using the MultiplierMethod package from Mathsource for last 2 years and have been happy with it most of the times. Now my needs have grown and have been checking into commercial packages; e.g., Global Optimization and Industrial Optimization. I would like to know if you have had any experience with these or other packages. Are they really better than MultiplierMethod? My needs involve nonlinear optimization with nonlinear equality an inequality constraints. The number of variables normally do not exceed 20. Thanks H. Kazemi Kazemi at som.umass.edu
