The general nonlinear optimization problem [1] can be formulated as follows: find a minimum of the objective function ϕ(x), where x lies in the intersection of the N-dimensional search space

and the admissible region ℱ ⊆ ℝN defined by a set of equality and/or inequality constraints on x. Since the equality gs(x) = 0 can be replaced by two inequalities gs(x) ≤ 0 and –gs(x) ≤ 0, the admissible region can be defined without loss of generality as

In order to get solution situated inside ℱ, we minimize the penalty function

The problem could be solved by different optimization methods. We implemented the following of them in the BioUML software:

  • stochastic ranking evolution strategy (SRES) [1];
  • cellular genetic algorithm MOCell [2];
  • particle swarm optimization (PSO) [3];
  • deterministic method of global optimization glbSolve [4];
  • adaptive simulated annealing (ASA) [5].
