This argument is mandatory and should be of the type String.
The variable doesn't have to have a value before the procedure is called. Any value associated with it before the procedure is called will be lost, if the search is successful.
On successful completion, the value of the variable is set to the abscissa of the extremum and it will then have the type Number.
The variable is not modified if the search fails.
This argument should be a global variable, not an expression nor a constant.
This argument is mandatory and must be of the type Number.
This argument is mandatory and must be of the type Number.
Option | Effect | Notes |
---|---|---|
MAXIMUM
| Searches for a maximum | Not default |
MINIMUM
| Searches for a minimum | Default |
NOPLOT
| No plot of the function | Default |
NOPRINT
| No printout | Default |
PLOT
| Makes a plot of the function | Not default |
PRINT
| Prints a progress report | Not default |
The search is declared to have converged when, between 2 iterations, the location of the extremum changes relatively by less than a fraction eps_loc or absolutely by less than an amount eps_loc.
This is an optional parameter of type Number.
Since the function is evaluated in single precision arithmetic, values less than 1e-6 are not meaningful on most computers.
[By default 1e-4.]
The search is declared to have converged when, between 2 iterations, the extreme function value changes relatively by less than a fraction eps_fun or absolutely by less than an amount eps_fun.
This is an optional parameter of type Number.
Since the function is evaluated in single precision arithmetic, values less than 1e-6 are not meaningful on most computers.
[By default 1e-4.]
The search is abandoned if it has not converged on the basis of eps_loc or eps_fun within the specified number of iterations,
This is an optional parameter of type Number.
[By default 20.]
