Uses the conjugate gradient method to determine a local minimum of a function of n independent variables defined with formulas.
The conjugate gradient method uses the derivatives of a function to update the conjugate direction. This node uses the Fletcher-Reeves algorithm or the Polak-Ribiere algorithm to calculate the conjugate direction.
Names of the variables.
Variable names must start with a letter or an underscore followed by any number of alphanumeric characters or underscores.
Formula that defines the objective function. The formula can contain any number of valid variables
Values of the variables at which the optimization starts.
Error conditions that occur before this node runs.
The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.
Standard Error Behavior
Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.
Default: No error
Algorithms this node uses to compute the derivatives and minimize the lines.
Algorithm this node uses to compute the derivatives.

Fletcher-Reeves | 0 | Uses the Fletcher-Reeves method. |
Polak-Ribiere | 1 | Uses the Polak-Ribiere method. |
Default: Fletcher-Reeves
Value that determines whether this node uses the derivatives in the algorithm.
Name | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Without Derivatives | 0 | Does not use the derivatives in the algorithm. |

Conditions that terminate the optimization.
This node terminates the optimization if this node reaches all the tolerance thresholds or passes any of the maximum thresholds.
Minimum relative change in function values between two internal iterations.
Definition of Relative Change in Function Values
The relative change in function values between two internal iterations is defined as follows:
where
Default: 1E-06
Minimum relative change in parameter values between two internal iterations.
Definition of Relative Change in Parameter Values
The relative change in parameter values between two internal iterations is defined as follows:
