Development of the FUMILI minimization package

Abstract

The suggested FUMILI package development has the following advantages: a more convenient and friendly user interface; no limit on the number of parameters and experimental points; speed advantage when the number of parameters is high enough; there are options to ignore wrong experimental points and correct experimental errors. The preliminary scan is envisaged for complicated tasks.All programs are written in FORTRAN-77.The investigation has been performed at the Veksler and Baldin Laboratory of High Energy Physics, JINR.
