Question
Consider Newton's method applied to the minimisation problemminxf(x).min𝑥𝑓(𝑥).Which of the following statements is true regarding the convergence of Newton's method.Question 1Answera.If f𝑓 is convex and has positive definite Hessian for all x𝑥 and Newton's method converges, then it converges to a global minimiser of f𝑓.b.Newton's method always converges to a global minimiser of f𝑓. c.If f𝑓 is convex and has positive definite Hessian for all x𝑥 then Newton's method always converges.d.Newton's method always requires damping in order to converge to a global minimiser of f𝑓.
Solution
The correct answer is a. If f is convex and has a positive definite Hessian for all x and Newton's method converges, then it converges to a global minimizer of f.
This is because Newton's method, when applied to a convex function with a positive definite Hessian, will always converge to the global minimum. This is due to the fact that a convex function has a single global minimum and the positive definite Hessian ensures that the function is curved upwards at all points, meaning that the method will always move towards the minimum.
The other statements are not necessarily true. Newton's method does not always converge to a global minimizer of f (option b), it does not always converge even if f is convex and has a positive definite Hessian (option c), and it does not always require damping to converge to a global minimizer of f (option d). These statements may be true under certain conditions, but they are not universally true for all functions and all applications of Newton's method.
