title: Delphi mathematical optimisation techniques including simplex or genetic algorithms, etc
body: <p>Just wondering whether anyone has recommendations for optimisation utilities for Delphi.
  eg Simplex, Genetic algorithms etc...</p>
  
  <p>Basically I need to optimise my overarching model as a complete black box function, with input variables like tilt angle or array size, within pre-determined boundaries. Output is usually a smooth curve, and usually with no false summits.</p>
  
  <p>The old NR Pascal stuff is looking a bit dated (no functions as variables etc).</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks, Brian</p>
