SOLUTION OF WAR PLANNING PROBLEM USING DERIVATIVE FREE METHODS

The focus of this research is to formulate optimization model of war planning problem along with fuel supply and availability of aircrafts constraints. The derivative free methods are used for the optimization of Deterministic problems. These methods are basically designed for unconstrained optimization problems. In formulated optimization war planning problems the constraints are handled by using exterior penalty functions. The results of the war planning optimization model are obtained by using MATLAB which demonstrate the effectiveness, applicability and comparison of these derivative free methods.
