Abstract

We survey the development of algorithms and theory for the unconstrained optimization problem during the years 1967–1970. Therefore (except for one remark) the material is taken from papers that have already been published. This exception is an explanation of some numerical difficulties that can occur when using Davidon's (1959) variable metric algorithm.
