B Matlab Programs

The following codes intend to demonstrate how each algorithm works, so they arerelatively simple and we do not intend to optimize them. They are not for general-purpose optimization, because there are much better programs out there, both free andcommercial, for that task. These codes should work using Matlab.1 For Octave,2 slightmodifications may be needed.
