Similar to the computer programs of the preceding papers, the computer program below seeks to solve Li and Sun’s Problem 14.4, [10, p. 415], but with 8000 unknowns instead of 100 unknowns. Specifically the computer program below tries to minimize the following:
8000-1
SIGMA [ 100* ( X(i+1) – X(i)^2 )^2 + ( 1-X(i) )^2 ]
i=1
subject to -5<=X(i)<=5, X(i) integer, i=1, 2, 3,…, 8000.
One notes line 114, line 174, and line 175, which are as follows:
114 A(J44 )=-5+FIX( RND*11)
174 IF X(J44)>5 THEN X(J44 )=A(J44 )
175 IF X(J44)<-5 THEN X(J44 )=A(J44 )
0 REM DEFDBL A-Z
1 DEFINT J,K,B,X
2 DIM A(10000),X(10000)
81 FOR JJJJ=-32000 TO 32000
89 RANDOMIZE JJJJ

111 FOR J44=1 TO 8000
114 A(J44 )=-5+FIX( RND*11)
115 REM IF RND<.5 THEN A(J44 )=2 +FIX(RND*4 ) ELSE A(J44)=-5+FIX(RND*6)
117 NEXT J44
128 FOR I=1 TO 32000
129 FOR KKQQ=1 TO 8000
130 X(KKQQ)=A(KKQQ)
131 NEXT KKQQ

145 IF RND<.5 THEN 150 ELSE 167
150 R=(1-RND*2)*A(B)
160 X(B)=(A(B) +RND^3*R)
162 GOTO 168
163 IF RND<.5 THEN X(B)=(A(B)-.001) ELSE X(B)=(A(B) +.001 )
165 GOTO 168
167 IF RND<.5 THEN X(B)=CINT(A(B)-1) ELSE X(B)=CINT(A(B) +1 )
168 REM IF A(B)=0 THEN X(B)=1 ELSE X(B)=0
169 NEXT IPP
171 FOR J44=1 TO 8000
174 IF X(J44)>5 THEN X(J44 )=A(J44 )
175 IF X(J44)<-5 THEN X(J44 )=A(J44 )
177 NEXT J44

402 FOR J44=1 TO 7999
411 SONE=SONE+ 100* ( X(J44+1) – X(J44)^2 )^2 + ( 1-X(J44) )^2

This BASIC computer program was run via basica/D of Microsoft’s GW-BASIC 3.11 interpreter for DOS. See the BASIC manual [11]. Copied by hand from the screen, the computer program’s complete output through JJJJ=-31999 is shown below:
-1 1 1 1 1
-205 -32000
1 1 1 1 1
0 -31999
Above there is no rounding by hand.
M=0 is optimal; see Li and Sun [10, p. 415].
Of the 8000 A’s, only the 5 A’s of line 1936 are shown above.
On a personal computer with a Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @2.50GHz, 2.50 GHz, 960 MB of RAM, and the IBM basica/D interpreter, version GW BASIC 3.11, the wall-clock time for obtaining the output through JJJJ=-31999 was 7 hours.
