Nonlinear integer program with linear constraints
There are solvers for non linear mixed integer programming that can solve problems to optimality under certain conditions, or provide good quality solutions otherwise. These are based in generalized b …

Algorithms for searching in high-dimensional binary data spaces
You may be able to formulate your problem as a binary integer program, which even though in general they are NP hard, some instances can be solved very quickly through branch and cut algorithms (if th …

Find combinations of variables with variable bounds to get summed up to a required value (us...
With the constraints you have listed, you may declare $x_i$ as integer, then solve with an IP solver (see the open-source coin-or solvers, and cplex or gurobi if you have access to them) to enumerate …

Low-rank updates in BFGS
To add on Brian's answer. The idea behind the low rank update is to find what an approximation that is "good enough", thus saving on computation resources. The BFGS method approximates the hessian wit …

How to get multiple solutions for a optimization problem using any kind of software
Depends on the type of problem you are dealing with. For non convex see the other answer about multistart. For convex problems, iteratively adding previous solutions as constraints will return alterna …

Choice of solver/software for global optimisation of cheap black-box function with known der...
You can either use some derivative free optimization, for which there are several packages available, or: If in addition to the jacobian you can obtain the hessian then there are many methods that you … I recommend you the reference Numerical Optimization by J Nocedal, it contains pseudo code and references to software that would help you with your problem. …

Let me clarify from my previous comment that I had linear least squares problems in mind, non linear least squares need to meet several conditions in order to be convex. I would look for some simple c …
