thanks,

I was not aware of the octave-forge. It looks great.

octave-forge contains a number of functions for optimization. I'm the maintainer of bfgsmin and samin. If you install octave-forge, then you can run and then examine bfgsmin_example and samin_example to see how to use them. It sounds like samin might be useful to you. Regards, Michael

Hi,

fsolve only solves the system of eq. I would need sth. for
(function) maximization? I am simply searching for a maximum
of a function. I know I can do the numeric derivative and search for zeros
but sometimes the functions are badly behaved etc... Especially if you use
ceil() and floor() functions. A function for max. search using
non-gradient methods
would be great.

Octave versions 2.1.49 and 2.1.64 (suse and debian linux) I have.

Hi everyone,

Can someone tell me if there exists an optimization package for
octave? Is somebody working on it?

Gorazd

Does fsolve do what you want?

Please give us more info on
- what you are doing.
- what system you have.
- what ver. of octave you have.
