Appendix D Sample Computer Programs
This appendix contains the listing of some computer programs based on the algorithms for numerical methods of unconstrained optimization given in Chapters 8 and 9. The objective is to educate the student on how to transform a step-by-step numerical algorithm into a computer program. Note that the given computer programs are not claimed to be the most efficient ones. The key idea is to emphasize the essential numerical aspects of the algorithms in a simple and straightforward way. A beginner in the numerical techniques of optimization is expected to experiment with the computer programs and get a feel for the various methods by solving some numerical examples. Thus, a black box usage of the computer programs ...
