OPTIMIZATION ON SPHERE Problem:  Given a unit sphere $S^n$ in $R^{n+1}$ and a smooth function $f: S^n \rightarrow R$ Find an element $x_{*} \in S^n$ such that there is a neighbourhood $V$ of $x_{*}$ with $f(x_{*}) \leq f(x), \forall x \in V$. In this slides, I will introduce some notations and the line-search method to perform minimization task on sphere. slides: CSE_SMU seminar 30/01/2016
