<h2 class="chapter">35 Multidimensional Minimization</h2>

This chapter describes routines for finding minima of arbitrary

multidimensional functions. The library provides low level components

for a variety of iterative minimizers and convergence tests. These can

be combined by the user to achieve the desired solution, while providing

full access to the intermediate steps of the algorithms. Each class of

methods uses the same framework, so that you can switch between

minimizers at runtime without needing to recompile your program. Each

instance of a minimizer keeps track of its own state, allowing the

minimizers to be used in multi-threaded programs. The minimization

algorithms can be used to maximize a function by inverting its sign.

<p>The header file <samp><span class="file">gsl_multimin.h</span></samp> contains prototypes for the

minimization functions and related declarations.
