I recently read in a paper "The minimization was done using down hill simplex method(Nelder and Mead(1965)), So I checked in idl which routine will do this and found that amoeba subroutine will do this. But I couldnt understand the concept behind this. Could any of you explain me what exactly this 'amoeba subroutine' does and how to use it.

There is a description in Numerical Recipes. Any version of the book will do (in Fortran, in C, etc.).
