Find a Minimum 1D (Brent with Derivatives) (G Dataflow)

Last Modified: June 25, 2019

Determines a local minimum of a given 1D function in a given interval. This method is based on derivatives of the function.

The method has a faster algorithm than that of Find a Minimum 1D (Golden Section) because the bracketing interval has better properties than that of Find a Minimum 1D (Golden Section).

datatype_icon

objective function

Formula that defines the objective function. The formula must contain one valid variable.

Entering Valid Variables

This node accepts variables that use the following format rule: variables must start with a letter or an underscore followed by any number of alphanumeric characters or underscores.

datatype_icon

a

Left point of the bracketing interval.

Default: 0

datatype_icon

b

Middle point of the bracketing interval.

Default: 0

datatype_icon

c

Right point of the bracketing interval.

Default: 0

datatype_icon

error in

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.

error in does not contain an error error in contains an error
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally.

If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.

If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

datatype_icon

accuracy

Accuracy of the minimum of the objective function.

The node stops running if the difference between two consecutive approximations is equal to or less than the value of accuracy.

Default: 1E-08

datatype_icon

minimum

Local minimum of the objective function.

datatype_icon

f(minimum)

Value of the objective function at minimum.

datatype_icon

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.
