The present edition includes an addendum with a slightly different computer program.
Similar to the computer programs of the preceding papers, the computer program below seeks to solve Li and Sun's Problem 14.4 but with two added constraints and with 8000 unknowns instead of 100 unknowns; see Li and Sun [10, p. 415]. 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
X(1)^3+X(2)^3+X(3)^3+...+X(8000)^3 = 8000
X(1)+X(2)+X(3)+...+X(8000) <= 8000
-5<=X(i)<=5, X(i) integer, i=1, 2, 3,..., 8000.
Thus, one of the two added constraints is an equality constraint and the other is a less-than-or-equal-to constraint.
One notes line 114, line 174, and line 175, which are as follows:
114 A(J44)=-1+FIX(RND*3)
174 IF X(J44)>5 THEN X(J44 )=A(J44 )
175 IF X(J44)<-5 THEN X(J44 )=A(J44 ).
One also notes line 191, which is 191 X(1)= ( 8000 -(SUMY) )^(1/3).
The objective function here is based on the Rosenbrock function [10, p. 415].
The present paper uses the IBM Personal Computer BASIC Compiler--through A:\>bascom and A:\>link--Copyright IBM Corp 1982 Version 1.00/Copyright Microsoft, Inc. 1982.

Above there is no rounding by hand; it is just straight copying by hand from the screen.
M=0 is optimal. See Li and Sun [10, p. 415].
Of the 8000 A's, only the 10 A's of line 1931 and line 1936 are shown above.

Addendum
But 130 hours is a long time. To alleviate this issue in future problems, simultaneously run slightly different computer programs on separate computers. In conjunction with the computer program above, the following input and its output illustrate. One notes that while line 128 above is 128 FOR I=1 TO 32000 STEP .1, line 128 below is 128 FOR I=1 TO 32000 STEP 9.000001E-02.
