NArgMin

gives a position

at which f is numerically minimized.

gives a position

at which f is numerically minimized.

gives a position at which f is numerically minimized subject to the constraints cons.

NArgMin is effectively equivalent to {x, y, ...}/.Last[NMinimize[..., {x, y, ...}, ...].

NArgMin always attempts to find a global minimum of f subject to the constraints given.

xIntegers can be used to specify that a variable can take on only integer values.

If f and cons are linear, NArgMin can always find global minima, over both real and integer values.

If NArgMin determines that the constraints cannot be satisfied, it returns {Indeterminate, ...}.
