Notes:
A new program, named ANTICOMPLEX, has been specially written for searching the optimum conditions of a technological process. The algorithm is based on an iterative procedure with, at each step, a random sampling for a better exploration of the hyperspace of the parameters. Since the process is considered as a ‘black box’, the program operates by successive reductions of the variation domains with a strategy derived from some function optimization (COMPLEX). This approach is very flexible and the experimenter can stop the investigation at any series of experiments according to the desired accuracy for the optimum region. This program has been successfully tested on several real processes. This paper gives a complete description of the approach together with two illustrations on simulated processes.
