Lecture
Descent methods and line search: Quadratic interpolation
Description
This lecture covers the unidimensional problem in descent methods, focusing on Newton's method and quadratic interpolation. It explains how to find the minimum of a function using only the function values, without the need for high precision calculations. The main idea is to interpolate a parabola using three points and use its minimum to define a new set of points.
