  • Compare the efficiency of the optimal search (Fibonacci numbers) and the Golden mean search for four and seven iterations.
  • Find minimum  of F(x) = .3 x - exp(-x^2) , starting from the point x_1= -4,   by using Gradient Method, modified Newton method, Quadratic approximation. Perform three iterations. Compare.
  • Use Secant and Newton method to solve the equation:  ln(1+ x) -3=0, x_1= 0
  • Perform three first iteration for the global search of F(x) = x^(1/2) cos(x), 0 <x < 4, by bounding its gradient.
