Minimize is really missing in Smath. In the mean time,
Genfit is the alternative to a built-in "Minimize".

Ah, yes... Minimize/maximize are part of the NonlinearSolvers plugin. Before implement them or add new algorithms, I want to improve several things in the plugin.

As for now you can use the following:

GoldenSectionSearch.sm (21 КиБ) скачан 228 раз(а).
GradientDescent.sm (16 КиБ) скачан 190 раз(а).
NCGM.sm (19 КиБ) скачан 169 раз(а).

NelderMead.sm (33 КиБ) скачан 184 раз(а).
GaussNewton.sm (20 КиБ) скачан 199 раз(а).


I see that Smath 0.97.5346 doesn't prompt the plugin requirement form --> before opening the worksheets, go in the Tools > Plugins... > Online Gallery and download the latest update (I've fixed a small issue).

Thanks Davide,

"GoldenSectionSearch" works fine. I have added the Mathcad 11 equivalent,
just a bit more compacted. The Mathcad "While" loop is self indexing but
NOT attempted to code, because your coding is more complete "target" min/max.
In the attached work sheet, I give the solve block [much faster].
Nice to know how "GoldenSectionSearch" works under the hood.
I will visit more from your work sheets.

Interesting the implicit coding:




Cheers, Jean

Very nice Jean

As for the truth it is possible to code Min_Gr like in mathcad; you need SMath 0.98, since previously the parsing order of assignments inside matrices was made in reverse order (that makes it possible to code it even in SMath 0.97.*, but in a cucumbersome way)

Yes Davide !

Can't be more right. Smath official 5346 does not digets the Mathcad code as you have
implemented. It made me shovel the clouds for a while ! While loop !

Just between you and me, Andrey has received my special "birthday card"
