local_min, a FORTRAN90 code which finds a local minimizer of a scalar function of a scalar variable, by Richard Brent.
The method does not require the use of derivatives, and does not assume that the function is differentiable.

praxis, a FORTRAN90 code which minimizes a scalar function of several variables.
test_opt, a FORTRAN90 code which defines test problems requiring the minimization of a scalar function of several variables.
test_optimization, a FORTRAN90 code which defines test problems for the minimization of a scalar function of several variables, as described by Molga and Smutnicki.
toms178, a FORTRAN90 code which optimizes a scalar functional of multiple variables using the Hooke-Jeeves method.
