GLOBAL-OPT

Global-OPT is an Excel Add-In that delivers fast, non-linear, discrete Global Optimization to your Excel Models. Using full factorial Design of Experiments, Global-OPT solves problems and optimizes models with a minimum number of calculations... Global-OPT makes child's play of finding the global optimum of the pathological Schwefel function, a common Global Optimization problem known for being difficult to solve as it has a geometrically distant global minimum where many optimization algorithms will get stuck in local optima, never finding the global minimum.
