The SCGA code consists of 6 files:
==================================

1. SCGA.m: the main program file.

2. LocalSearch.m: a subfunction file to apply a local search.

3. NeMe.m: a subfunction file representing the Kelley's modification of Nelder-Mead method.


In order to apply the code:
===========================

1. Write the m-file which represents the function that you want to minimize, say that this m-file is called "my_function". 

2. Assign the value of the parameters
	
	n: Number of the objective variables
	U: n-Dimension Vector of upper limits of the objective variables
	L: n-Dimension Vector of lower limits of the objective variables
 
3. Run the main code SCGA.m on MATLAB command windows using the following command:

[XMin,FMin,FCount] = SCGA(n,'my_function',U,L)
