Fitting Problem

Function (curve) fitting problem is a typical optimization problem. This problem is minimization the deviations of a fitting curve from experimental point. Two popular fitting algorithms are described here.

Optimization in Chemistry

• Electrochemical Fit - SVD and Levenberg-Marquardt fit
• DE Electrochemical Fit - Fit using Differential Evolution algorithm
• Temperature dependence fitting of NMR shifts

Genetic Algorithms

• The Canonical GA
• The Differential Evolution
