Urgent Optimization problem

I appreciate it if you could let me know if it is possible to minimize this in MathCAD. The problem is minimization of an error function with 24 constants(should be found by optimization) and 1 variable.

Error(a11,b11,d11,a12,b12,d12,a13,b13,d13,a22,b22,d22,a23,b23,d23,a33,b33,d33,a66,b66,d66,a77,b77,d77,eps)

So I want to find constant aij,bij and dij so that Error(eps) is minimum when 0<eps<0.1(at any eps), Is it possible to optimize this using Mathcad? If not would you please help me which math tool could possibly minimize this?

Thank you

you can use the minimize function to find c1,c2 and c3

i make a simple example,you also can seek the QuickSheet for help.

It's not possible to say whether or not this is possible without more information. How is the function "Error" defined? Error between what and what?

Richard,

The Error fucnction is symbolically defined. In the minimization part I want to find constants aij,bij,dij so that the function Error(eps) is always minimize (0<eps<0.1). Basically I don't want to find variable eps but rather have it as a variable.

Thanks

***I also attached the file that I have here, It is in written using version 14.

At least two of your parameters are not independent, so you have an infinte number of possible solutions. I believe that minimize has stopped at one of those solutions, which is very close to where you started. If you change the starting guesses you will find other, equally valid solutions.

i think i know what you want to do，but your worksheet are too complex，you may want to find the parameters in your function through minimizing the error，the error functio can be the error(between your function and the experimental data ) sum of squares.mathcad can do it.

my work may have something in common with yours.i give you two two suggestions,hope that it can do some help for you:

1.you have two many parameters,and your functions are very complex,you can use matrix instead of so many parameters;

2.the error function can be expressed like this:

you said that "What I am really looking for is a function Error(eps) that is always minimum within the range (0<eps<0.1)",i think it depends on whether the function and the data can be fitted well or not，if they are fitted very well，the Error maybe very small.

my english is poor,maybe i misurderstand you,wo can continue to discuss.
