For what it's worth:
John Nash (original author of the Pascal implementations of (most of)
the available algorithms in optim() (including the Nelder-Mead)) has
long maintained that these implementations could be updated. (Any update
that changed solutions, rather than adding new functionalit
Title says it all.
I know this can be done by transformations by the user, but given that
interval is so prominent in the ?doc and given that Nelder-Mead is the
default method for optim(), it would be nice if the default method would
honor this one, too.
[could be done (even by me) within the R c
