Minimizes the given function within the given interval.

Namespace: CenterSpace.NMath.Core
Assembly: NMath (in NMath.dll) Version: 7.4

Syntax

double Minimize(
	OneVariableFunction f,
	OneVariableFunction df,
	double a,
	double b,
	double c
)

Function Minimize ( 
	f As OneVariableFunction,
	df As OneVariableFunction,
	a As Double,
	b As Double,
	c As Double
) As Double

double Minimize(
	OneVariableFunction^ f, 
	OneVariableFunction^ df, 
	double a, 
	double b, 
	double c
)

abstract Minimize : 
        f : OneVariableFunction * 
        df : OneVariableFunction * 
        a : float * 
        b : float * 
        c : float -> float

Parameters

f OneVariableFunction: The function to minimize.
df OneVariableFunction: The first derivative of f.
a Double: The lower limit.
b Double: A point between a and c such that fb < fa and fb < fc. .
c Double: The upper limit.

Return Value

Double
The minimum of function over the interval from a to c.

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.
