Minimizes the given function near the given starting point.

Namespace:  CenterSpace.NMath.Analysis
Assembly:  NMath (in NMath.dll) Version: 5.1.0.0

Syntax

C#
DoubleVector Minimize(
	MultiVariableFunction f,
	DoubleVector x
)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Function Minimize ( _
	f As MultiVariableFunction, _
	x As DoubleVector _
) As DoubleVector
Visual C++
DoubleVector^ Minimize(
	MultiVariableFunction^ f, 
	DoubleVector^ x
)

Parameters

f
Type: CenterSpace.NMath.Analysis..::.MultiVariableFunction
The function to minimize.
x
Type: CenterSpace.NMath.Core..::.DoubleVector
A starting point.

Return Value

The local minimum of function near the point, x.

Remarks

Iteration stops when either the estimated error is less than the tolerance, or the maximum number of iterations is reached. Setting the error tolerance to less than zero ensures that the maximum number of iterations is always reached.
