Comparative Performance Evaluation, Experimental Design, and Generation of Test Problems in Non-Linear Optimization

The key issues in performance evaluation and computational testing were raised during the NATO Advanced Research Institute on Nonlinear Programming, Cambridge, UK, July 1981 (see Powell (1982)). Briefly summarized, they are as follows:
