Chapter 4: Unconstrained Optimization - McMaster University
5 Steepest Ascent (Descent) Method Idea: starting from an initial point, find the function maximum (minimum) along the steepest direction so that shortest searching time is required. Steepest direction: directional derivative is maximum in that direction — gradi-ent direction. f() = ¢µ + @f @y ¢ =[] ¢]
