FindingMin is a program implemented by python, it helps to find local minimum or local maximum for polynomial function using Newton Method.
For printing help messages, use -h option.
python find_min.py -h
python find_min.py 5 -22.4 15.85272 24.161472 -23.4824832 -f 50 -s 6 -v
Above command means it uses the polynomial with 5x^4 - 22.4x^3 + 15.85272 x^2 + 24.161472 -23.4824832, starts point with 6, uses the 50 floatings points, and visualize the graph per every iteration.
python find_min.py 5 -22.4 15.85272 24.161472 -23.4824832 -s 10 -f 50 -n 16 --approximation 0.01
For using approximation method, use --approximation option.
Above command means it uses
the polynomial with 5x^4 - 22.4x^3 + 15.85272 x^2 + 24.161472 -23.4824832,
uses approximation method with h = 0.01, uses the 50
floatings points, starts point with 10, and iterates with maximum 16.
python find_min.py 5 -22.4 15.85272 24.161472 -23.4824832 -s 100 -f 50 -n 4 --approximation 0.01 --with-momentum
Use --with-momentum option for using momentum in approximation method.
