Chapter 4 in Modeling and Simulation in Scilab/Scicos with ScicosLab 4.4, 2010, pp 107-123 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Various optimization problems play a fundamental role in modeling and simulation. This chapter will cover some of the optimization utilities available in Scilab. Section 4.1 will present some overview comments about optimization, useful in using the algorithms. Section 4.2 discusses the most general optimization utilities. There is a close relationship between optimization and solving equations in a least squares sense. This is examined in Section 4.4. One application of optimization is parameter fitting. Specialized utilities for this are given in Section 4.5. Finally, some specialized optimization utilities for linear and quadratic programming are given in Section 4.6.
