Used it successfully in a previous life…. worked well.
Ideal for those pesky problems where a hill climbing optimization algorithm merely climbs you to the top of the nearest molehill and leaves you gazing wistfully at the mountains..
If you in need of robust optimization algorithms that don’t get confused by messy realities, the Nelder-Mead downhill simplex method is great.

You can even mixin simulated annealing with it.
