Title: Optimization of microwave networks by Razor Search
Authors: Bandler, John W.
Macdonald, P.A.
Keywords: minimax optimization;microwave network optimization
Publication Date: Jun-1969
Publisher: Numerical Applications Group, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Manitoba
Citation: John W. Bandler and P.A. Macdonald, "Optimization of microwave networks by Razor Search," Numerical Applications Group, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada, Report NAG-017, June 1969.
Series/Report no.: Numerical Applications Group;NAG-017
Abstract: A new optimization method called Razor Search is presented. The method, which is based on pattern search, was specifically developed for automatic optimization by computer of networks for which the objective is to minimize the maximum deviation of some response from a desired ideal response specification (minimax optimization). Another direct search called Ripple Search is also presented.
Description: Report produced by John W. Bandler and P.A. Macdonald during Bandler’s time as a post-doctoral fellow with the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada. Programmed by P.A. Macdonald in FORTRAN IV.
