C#

public static MultiExtremum FindLocalMinimum(
	Func<IReadOnlyList<double>, double> function,
	IReadOnlyList<double> start
)

VB

Public Shared Function FindLocalMinimum ( 
	function As Func(Of IReadOnlyList(Of Double), Double),
	start As IReadOnlyList(Of Double)
) As MultiExtremum

C++

public:
static MultiExtremum^ FindLocalMinimum(
	Func<IReadOnlyList<double>^, double>^ function, 
	IReadOnlyList<double>^ start
)

F#

static member FindLocalMinimum : 
        function : Func<IReadOnlyList<float>, float> * 
        start : IReadOnlyList<float> -> MultiExtremum

Parameters

function FuncIReadOnlyListDouble, Double: The multi-dimensional function to minimize.
start IReadOnlyListDouble: The starting location for the search.

Return Value

MultiExtremum
The local minimum.

Remarks

For two dimensions, the default evaluation settings target a precision of about 10^-8 and allow up to about 1000 function evaluations. For increasing dimensions, these requirements are gradually relaxed.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException	function, start is .
NonconvergenceException	The number of function evaluations required exceeded the evaluation budget.
