I am using following program:
A = {{2, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 3}, {3, 7, 3}}
Minimize[-Abs[
A[[1, 1]]*q11 + A[[1, 2]]*q21 + A[[1, 3]]*q31 + A[[2, 1]]*q12 +
A[[2, 2]]*q22 + A[[2, 3]]*q32 + A[[3, 1]]*q13 + A[[3, 2]]*q23 +
A[[3, 3]]*q33],
q11^2 + q12^2 + q13^2 == 1 && q11*q21 + q12*q22 + q13*q23 == 0 &&
q11*q31 + q12*q32 + q13*q33 == 0 && q21^2 + q22^2 + q23^2 == 1 &&
q21*q31 + q22*q32 + q23*q33 == 0 && q31^2 + q32^2 + q33^2 == 1,
{q11, q12,
q13, q21, q22, q23, q31, q32, q33}]
I tried using NMinimize function and it worked fine with it. But I
could not figure out what is the difference between these two
functions(Minimize and NMinimize) from their definitions on the
mathematica website.
Thanks
