I've been trying to port a code from MATLAB to C++, and stumbled on a very unexpected difficulty. I can't seem to find the C++ equivalant to MATLAB's fminunc.
Simply put, the problems definition is minimizing f(x), for a vector x, a scalar function…

Android app is not shown in minimized list after home button pressed
I'm trying to write an android app.

how to do batch processing on minimization of non-linear function in matlab
I have a 3D image V. For each pixel v in this 3D image, I need to minimize a function
(Y1 - F1(x1, x2))^2 + (Y2 - F2(x1, x2))^2
Y1 and Y2 are two observations. F1 and F2 are non-linear functions, derivable, but in a complicated form. x1 and x2 are…

How does Matlab decide to accept a step in fminunc?
I'm using fminunc. Specifically, I'm using a quasi-newton method with BFGS and a user supplied gradient to minimize a function. It goes for about 3 iterations, then does a bunch of function evaluations. I have the function I am trying to minimize…
