I've always had difficulties using maple to optimize a procedure of multiple variables. I have a problem now where I have a procedure AreaRegion(x,y,z). There are many conditions and subroutines in this procedure that are used to calculate the area of a specific region defined by variables x,y, and z. Its algortihm is based loosly on a Graph Theory program. Anyway, back to the main problem I'm having. I want to minimize AreaRegion(x,y,z). I tried > Minimize(AreaRegion, 0..Pi,-2..2,-2..2) But this gives me > Warning, no iterations performed (And an incorrect answer) I tried
