| This visualizer allows you to define a function and minimize it using one of several iterative optimization algorithms. | |
| ## Settings | |
| In this tab, you can: | |
| - Select a preset function to optimize | |
| - Or choose **--Custom--** to define your own function | |
| When entering a custom function: | |
| - Use **`x`** for univariate functions | |
| - Use **`x`** and **`y`** for bivariate functions | |
| ## Optimize | |
| In this tab, you can: | |
| - Step through the optimization process | |
| - See the optimizer’s trajectory | |
| ## Plot Screen | |
| The plot is interactive: | |
| - Click and drag to pan | |
| - Scroll to zoom | |
| ## Compare algorithms | |
| Open **Compare** after **Optimize**. Choose an algorithm, configure its initial point and parameters, and click **Add**. Repeat to compare different algorithms or parameter choices. Each entry has a matching trajectory color and can be removed. | |
| **Animate** advances all selected algorithms together. **Pause** stops playback; **Previous** and **Next** step through iterations; **Reset** returns to the initial points. Adding an algorithm restarts the comparison at iteration zero. Each added algorithm keeps its own initial point, shown in the selected algorithms list. The objective is shared with Settings. Changing the objective or the initial point in Settings restarts the comparison while preserving each algorithm’s configured initial point. | |
