Abstract:

The Goldstein-Price method for obtaining the global unconstrained minimizer of a general function of several variables is shown to require obtaining a local solution of at most summation, i1 to n-1, fn-iPiy1 to in-j one dimensional unconstrained minimization problems when applied to a polynomial of a single variable of degree 2n.
