This is not reproducible, so I am reduced to guessing.
Your loglike() is only defined for positive f, but you have not imposed that constraint on your optimization. Further, if f=5.91e-05 is a typical value, your problem is badly conditioned and the finite difference code in optim() is likely to step outside the undeclared region of validity.
I suggest that you - study the help page for optim() - make use of the control parameters to scale the problem suitably - either impose the positivity constraint via the L-BFGS-B method, or transform f to a suitable scale, e.g. by making log(f) the parameter.

Dears useRs, I am using the mle function but this gives me the follow erros that I don't understand. Perhaps there is someone that can help me.
You could look at the many warnings -- they may well tell you the underlying problem.
thank you for you atention.
