Question: Consider the unconstrained NLP max x 1 x 2 5 ( x 1 2 ) 4 3 ( x 2 5 ) 4 ( a

Consider the unconstrained NLP
max x1x25(x12)43(x25)4
(a) Use a graphing software to produce a contour map of the objective function for
x1"[1,4], x2"[2,8].
(b) Compute the move direction that would be pursued by gradient ascent algorithm
at x(0)=(1,3).
(c) State the line search problem implied by your direction.
(d) Solve your line search problem graphically and compute the next search point
x(1).
(e) Do two additional iterations of the gradient ascent to compute x(2) and x(3).
(f) Plot progress of the search on the contour map of part (a).
