MERLIN-2.0 — Enhanced and programmable version

Abstract
Merlin 2.0 is a new version of the recently published optimization package MERLIN-1.0. Apart from several minor improvements and extensions, this new version offers a very important feature: Programmability. A high level language has been developed, that enables the user to easily write programs that control the new MERLIN-2.0 at run time.

Title of program: MERLIN-2.0 PROGRAMMABLE
Catalogue Id: AAXW_v2_0 [ABHB]

Nature of problem
A lot of problems in Physics, Chemistry, Applied Mathematics as well as in Engineering and in other fields are quite often reduced to minimizing a function of several variables. MERLIN-2.0 is a programmable system designed to minimize a multi-dimensional function.
