Gradient Search Procedure: Conclusion

Gradient Search Procedure - Conclusion

Note that after five iterations, we still have not reached a stopping point (since

is still too large). This trial solution,

, is "close to" but not identical to the exact optimal solution,

. If we continued the gradient search procedure further until the error tolerance was satisfied (six more iterations), the resulting solution,

, would be much closer to the exact solution.

This concludes the demonstration. See the OR Tutor menu (to the left) for other demonstrations or close the browser window to exit OR Tutor.
