About OMADS
-----------
OMADS is a python implementation of the mesh adaptive direct search (MADS) algorithm that supports orthogonal :math:`2n` directions where :math:`n` is the number of variables. MADS is a direct search method that has global convergence properties :cite:p:`audet2006mesh`. The latest version of OMADS provides three modules; ``POLL.py``, ``SEARCH.py`` and ``MADS.py``. Each module can work per se to solve an optimization problem given an appropriate problem setup. ``OMADS`` is published on PyPi and maintained on my GitHub page :cite:p:`OMADS_AB`.
