"An Infeasible Point Method for Minimizing the Lennard-Jones Potential." (1993) <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/1911/101817">https://hdl.handle.net/1911/101817</a>.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/101817Minimizing the Lennard-Jones potential, the most-studied problem for molecular conformation, is an unconstrained global optimization problem. In this paper, the problem is reformulated as an equality constrained nonlinear program in such a way that the likelihood of finding a global minimizer is increased. Implementation of an algorithm for solving this nonlinear program is discussed, and results of numerical tests are presented.15 ppengTechnical reportTR93-47
