Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around retrieving the Hessian matrix at the minimum when using the 'trust-constr' method in the Python scipy.optimize.minimize function. Participants explore the functionality and documentation of the scipy package related to this optimization method.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about how to retrieve the Hessian at the minimum using the 'trust-constr' method.
  • Another participant confirms that the question pertains to the Python scipy package.
  • A later reply suggests that users may need to calculate the Hessian themselves by utilizing the hess argument in the minimize function, noting that the documentation does not specify a default method if this argument is not provided.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the method for retrieving the Hessian, and the discussion reflects uncertainty regarding the documentation and available options.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations in the scipy documentation regarding default methods for Hessian calculation when not specified.

Hello, does anyone know how to retrieve the Hessian at the minimum when using method = ‘trust-constr’?

Python as stated in my subject line. Specifically the scipy package.

Never hurts to repeat in the body of the post :)
