Hi,

I am trying to find the local minimum of a function using Minimize function in Mathcad 15. I would like to use the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. However, I am unable to select this option from the menu, see the image below. 

Please let me know if it is poosible with Minimize function.

From Mathcad (11) Help. I suspect Mathcad 15 will be little different:

"Conjugate gradient method for solving

The Conjugate Gradient method is one of the nonlinear methods to use with the find, minerr, minimize, and maximize functions.

"

Means that the Conjugate gradient method can be used for Minimize.

"Levenberg-Marquardt

The iterative Levenberg-Marquardt method can be used during the solving process called by find, or minerr.

"

Means that the LM method canNOT be used for Minimize.

 

Success!
Luc
