S is an array 1-dimensional, for example 1 X 10, and mean(S) is the mean of these 10 elements.
So, I want to do: minimize mean(S) with 0 < b_func(S) < 800. That is, there are some boundaries on S according the b_funct The function apply an iterative convergent criterion: f_1=g(S), f_2=g(f_1), f_3=g(f_2), ecc.... The function stops when f_n - f_n-1 <=0.1e-09 and g(S) is a non-linear function of S and the convergence is mathematically assured. Is it possible to use 'optimize'? thanks domenico 2007/7/3, Spencer Graves <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Do you mean > > minimize mu with 0 < b_func(S+mu) < 800? > > For this kind of problem, I'd first want to know the nature of > "b_func".
