The absolute minimum in this range is 59185.3, at coordinates t=50 and k=2. Of course, the function goes to infinity when k=-0.75. This can be seen using the Plot3D command. The commmand FindMinimum works only for local minimums. hope this will help you |Gustavo Delfino |gdelfino at dino.conicit.ve| |Universidad Metropolitana| CompuServe: 73000,1127| |Ingenieria Mecanica | FAX:(582) 963-7726| |Caracas, Venezuela |________________________|
