Am I correct in saying that the only way to find the minimum with perfect accuracy is to iterate over all coordinates (i.e. no shortcuts possible)?

- ColinWright 14y agoHave edited the original ... thanks for the question.
- jei731 14y agoDepends if you can calculate the gradient and whether it it's known and defined. So, this all depends on the function in question. And also, the words "perfect accuracy" begs a definition here. How many decimals are we talking about here, or are we talking of all the "optimal solutions" or just one optimal solution, etc.
