Re: [R] how to solve a min problem

S is an array 1-dimensional, for example 1 X 10, and mean(S) is the mean of these 10 elements. So, I want to do: minimize mean(S) with 0 b_func(S) 800. That is, there are some boundaries on S according the b_funct The function apply an iterative convergent criterion: f_1=g(S), f_2=g(f_1),

Do you mean minimize mu with 0 b_func(S+mu) 800? For this kind of problem, I'd first want to know the nature of b_func. Without knowing more, I might try to plot b_func(S+mu) vs. mu, then maybe use 'optimize'. If this is not what you mean, please be more specific:

I know it's possible to solve max e min problems by using these functions: nlm, optimize, optim but I don't know how to use them (...if possible...) to solve this problem. I have a personal function called b_func(S) where S is an input array (1 X n) and I'd like: minimize mean(S) with 0
