Computational Physics Seminar

Computation for Physicists: Optimization

Presented by Dr. Huaiyu Duan

In an optimization problem, one tries to find the minimum or maximum of a scalar function with or without constraints. In this seminar of the Computation for Physicists series, I will explain some of the simple optimization algorithms and the SciPy functions that can optimize in 1D or multi-D spaces.
