Fortran Minimization with Changing parameters
Thanks!! I actually found out how to solve this problem I had. It is to pass the global "a" into the function. I am new in programming, so I thought only constant can be global in Fortran. My question is in the area of optimization. Often one needs to find the desired "a". You start by... -
Fortran Minimization with Changing parameters
Thank you, GerritGroot!! I agree that I can make "a" and "x" together as a vector "X". But the question is that finally I am not going to minimize a two-dimensional function. Instead, I am going to fix "a" and maximize along the dimension of x. So this problem is more or less like a constrained... -
Fortran Minimization with Changing parameters
Hi All, How can I minimize a function with varying parameters? For example: f(x;a) is a function of x with parameter a, but a is updated each time I minimize f. That is, given first a (a0), I minimize f, and I update a to a1 based on the first minimization. And then given a1, I minimize f...
