collection of animations of search path in optimization

March 7, 2016 Compiled on May 23, 2020 at 5:20am

These are animations¹ showing the search path \(u^k\) on top of a contour plot from diﬀerent starting point \(u^0\) toward a minimizer \(u^\ast \) for diﬀerent objective functions using diﬀerent algorithms. More animations will be added.

The animation run once and stop. To re-start the animation, please force reload the HTML page (using shift-reload).

1 First example \(f(u) = (11-u_1-u_2)^2 + (1+u_1+10 u_2-u_1 u_2)^2\)
2 second example, Rosenbrock’s banana function \(f(u) = 100*(u_2-u_1^2)^2 + (1-u_1)^2\)
