NAME

Math::GSL::Min - 1-D Minimization

SYNOPSIS

    use Math::GSL::Min qw/:all/;
    use Math::GSL::Const qw/$M_PI/;

    my $m = gsl_min_fminimizer_alloc($gsl_min_fminimizer_goldensection);

    gsl_min_fminimizer_set_with_values($m,
        sub { cos($_[0]) },
        3, cos(3),
        0, cos(0),
        2*$M_PI, cos(2*$M_PI)
    );
    my $status = gsl_min_fminimizer_iterate($m);
    my $min    = gsl_min_fminimizer_x_minimum($m);
    my $lower  = gsl_min_fminimizer_x_lower($m);
    my $upper  = gsl_min_fminimizer_x_upper($m);

DESCRIPTION

Here is a list of all the functions in this module :

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_alloc

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_free

    Don't call this function explicitly. It will be called automatically in DESTROY for fminimizer.

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_set

    Don't apply this function twice to the same fminimizer. It will cause a memory leak. Instead of this you should create new fminimizer.

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_set_with_values

    Don't apply this function twice to the same fminimizer. It will cause a memory leak. Instead of this you should create new fminimizer.

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_iterate

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_name

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_x_minimum

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_x_lower

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_x_upper

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_f_minimum

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_f_lower

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_f_upper

  • gsl_min_fminimizer_minimum

  • gsl_min_test_interval

  • gsl_min_find_bracket

This module also includes the following constants :

  • $gsl_min_fminimizer_brent

  • $gsl_min_fminimizer_goldensection
