Assignment 03

Unit -1

Kindly, Prepare to the three assignment 1, 02, and 03 for I mid semester exam
(21Aug. to 23Aug.2019)

Date: 09 Aug. TO 19 Aug. 2019`

Q.1. Minimize a simple quadratic function f(x) = x2 - x using Newton's method

at starting point of x = -3 to x = 3.(see example 5.1)

Q.2. Minimize a non-quadratic function f(x) = x4 - x + 1 (a) Newton's method and starting at (1)
x = 3 (b) quasi-Newton method, use xq = 3 and xp = -3.(see example 5.2)

Q.3. Minimize f = (x -1)4 via (a) Newton's method and (b) the quasi-Newton (secant) method,
starting at (1) x = -1, (2) x = -0.5, and (3) x = 0.0.(see answer in the book to more know)

Q.4. The function to be minimized is f(x) = x2 - x and is illustrated in Figure E5. la. Three points
bracketing the minimum (- 1.7, - 0.1, 1.5) are used to start the search for the minimum off (x);
we use equally spaced points here but that is not a requirement of the method. (see answer in the
book to more know)

Q.6. List three reasons why a quasi-Newton (secant) search for the minimum of a function of one
variable will fail to find a local minimum.(see answer in the book to more know)

Q.7. Apply a sequential one-dimensional search technique to reduce the interval of uncertainty
for the maximum of the function f = 6.64 + 1.2x - x2 from [0,1] to less than 2 percent of its
original size. Show all the iterations. (see answer in the book to more know)

Q.8. Determine the relative rates of convergence for (1) Newton's method, and (2) quasi-Newton
method in minimizing the following functions: (a) x2 - 6x + 3 (b) sin (x) with 0 < x < 27r (c) x4 -
20x3 + 0.1x.(see answer in the book to more know)
