Davidon–Fletcher–Powell formula

The Davidon–Fletcher–Powell formula is a mathematical way to find the best solution to a problem. It works by starting with a guess of what the best solution might be, and then it will use mathematical equations to figure out if that guess is good enough. If it is not good enough, then it will adjust the guess until it finds the best answer. This formula can help us solve tricky problems quickly and accurately.
