Golden Section Search By Leon Gradisar (531/2010)
Golden Section Method Introduction -Golden Section Method uses constant Interval of reduciton -Which can be seen in different aspects of proportion from geometry to architecture. 2/11
Golden Section Search Introduction The Golden section search is a technique for finding the extr emum (minimum or maximum) of a strictly unimodal function by successively narrowing the range of values inside which the extre mum is known to exist. -The technique derives its name from the fact that the algorithm maintains the function values for triples of points whose distance s form a golden ratio. -Fibonacci search and Golden section search were discovered by Kiefer (1953) 3/11
Golden Section Idea -The diagram above illustrates a single step in the technique for finding a minimum. -The value of has already been evaluated at the three points: x1,x2 and x3. Since f2 is smaller than either f1 or f3, it is clear that a minimum lies inside the interval from x1 to x3 (since f is unimodal). -The next step is evaluating it at a new value x4. -if the function yields f4a: then a minimum lies between x1 and x4 and the new triplet of points will be x1,x2 and x4 If the function yields f4b: then a minimum lies between x2 and x3, and the new triplet of points will be x2 and x3. -By this logic we can construct a new narrower search interval that is guaranteed to contain the function's minimum. 4/11
Golden Section Workflow -From the diagram, it is seen that the new search interval will be either between and with a length of a+c , or between and with a length of b . -To ensure that the spacing after evaluatingf(x4) -In case f(x4) = f4a our new triplet of points is x1,x2,x4 then we want: -In case f(x4)= our new triplet of points is x2,x4,x4 , then we want: -Eliminating c from these two equations yields: or -Where is the golden ratio: 5/11
