DFL: Derivative Free Library

The several problems faced in different industries have led to the development of just as many black-box solution methods. Through a process of abstraction from the specific problem, it has been possible to develop some methods for the solution of essential classes of optimization problems.

All of these methods, which have been developed in an academic context, are now freely available in the software library DFL (Derivative-free Library). DFL has been developed with the contribution of DEIX. This library includes, among others, algorithms for the solution of global optimization problems, multiobjective optimization and mixed integer variable problems.
