I'm trying to find the minimum of a function practically flat in a very large intervall, after that it falls suddenly, reaches the minimun and rises very fast again. I'm able to see the function and the minimun with Plot in a fraction of second but is very dificult and it takes a lot of time to find it with FindMinimum, my question is: Is it not possible to use the same algorithm that Plot uses for finding the value of the minimun? What's that algorithm? TK and BR Joako
