Could anyone explain the basic difference between these two functions? Sage's documentation says that find_local_minimum uses fminbound, so... what find_local_minimum does?
Also, is there a performance difference between them?
Note that you can explore by yourself with ? and ??.
Check the documentation:
sage: sage.numerical.optimize.find_local_minimum?
sage: import scipy.optimize
sage: scipy.optimize.fminbound?Check the source code:
sage: sage.numerical.optimize.find_local_minimum??
sage: scipy.optimize.fminbound??Asked: 10 years ago
