EasySolver.SetNoSubIntervals Method 

Sets the number of intermediate "safety" points to be used in the case of solving a unidimensional global optimization problem.

Parameters

noSubIntervals

The number of intermediate "safety" points to be used, in order to ensure that the advance steps do not get to large. Note that the larger the parameter the less likely we are to miss any local extremum in the search for the global extremum.

Remarks

In all other instances other than constrained unidimensional optimization there is no need to set this quantity.

The purpose of the parameters is to ensure that the advance steps do not get to large. The larger the parameter given the less likely we are to miss any local extremum in the search for the global extremum. We provide this parameter with a default value of 100, which is a reasonable value in most instances. However, as is the case with most model parameters this parameter is provided to allow you to fine tune the algorithm for your particular problem at hand. If you decide to fine tune this parameter then it a certain amount of trial and error may be necessary.

Remark: In this instance the number of subintervals play the role of the initial point within local optimizations problems.
