Equal Interval Search in Function Minimization, Optimization Lecture 7

Interval reduction methods in one-dimensional optimization or single variable function minimization and the equal interval search method are explained. Equal interval search does not need derivative evaluation and is a gradient free method. Equal interval search is often used as a safeguard technique in numerical optimization algorithms. Solving the one dimensional search problem is important for finding the step size needed to move in the descent direction such that the function reduces to the greatest extent.
