numeric approximation to find maximum of a function

12.7k Views Asked by At

is there a fast numeric algorithm to approximate the maximum of an given function in an interval [x,y] without calculate the derivation of the function?

I only know about solver to calculate the roots (like the Brent method)

greetings

If its a function of one variable, then use the golden section search. If its is function of multiple vars, then use Downhill Simplex
