Aug 2018 - Apr 2020
The Alpha_in_Optimal branch includes alpha in the variable that will be optimized and will not consider "c", the constant inside the production function. It is arranged to have the two issues in the sobol and in the optimizer. C in optimal branch includes "c" in the optimizer and sobol. Master will be the default.
