Evolutionary Operation (EVOP)The term Evolutionary Operation (or EVOP) is dueto George Box*, although the method as presentlyknown (using the “simplex” algorithm) is due toSpendley et al**; the numerical algorithm wasfurther refined by Nelder and Mead***.*G.E.P. Box, “Evolutionary operation: A method for increasing industrialproductivity”, Applied Statistics 6, 81-101 (1957).**W. Spendley, G.R. Hext and F.R. Himsworth, “Sequential application ofsimplex designs in optimization and EVOP”, Technometrics 4, 441-461 (1962).***J.A. Nelder and R. Mead, “A simplex method for function minimization”,Computer Journal 7, 308-313 (1965).CEI Inc.
