Hi fellow R users, I am desperately hoping there is an easy way to do this in R.
Say I have three functions: f(x) = x^2 f(y) = 2y^2 f(z) = 3z^2 constrained such that x+y+z=c (let c=1 for simplicity). I want to find the values of x,y,z that will minimize f(x) + f(y) + f(z). I know I can use the optim function when there is only one function, but don't know how to set it up when there are three. I would also like to apply this to higher dimensions (i.e. for more than three functions) if possible. Thank you for all your help! -- Kind regards, Linh Tran, MPH ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
