Code for Introduction to Optimization:

• Problem Solutions:
  • testfunction.m (evaluate the test functions in the appendix)
    
  • testfunctionprime.m (evaluate the first derivative of test functions in the appendix)
    
  • testfunctionprimeprime.m (evaluate the second derivative of test functions in the appendix)
    
  • fn_wrap.m (a wrapper for the routine testfunction.m)
    
  • plot_test_functions.m (plots the test functions)
    
  • global_min_of_test_functions.m ("finds" the global minimum of the given test functions)
    
  • chap_1_prob_1.m (runs some local minimization routines)
    
  • chap_1_prob_3.m (multiple starts)
    
  • chap_1_prob_5.m (recursive starts)
    
  • chap_1_prob_7.nb (verifies the analytical solution for this problem)
