I've been going through the mailing list's archive, and found someone asked a while ago about fminu and fmins functions in Octave. At present, I have been using fsolve, but the results I get seem to be random. Put it in other words, I could do a better job myself :))) In particular, I just wanted to know what's the best way to find the minimum of a function using octave. Is there anything in fsolve that I should know about? At any case, my tries always get fsolve to return a status of 3... Any help?
