[R] Help in Optimization of a function

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

You don't need an optimzation routine to know that the maximum of this 
function is +Inf. It's attained at z = 0+ (when z converges to zero by 
positive values).

This breaks the R function optim(), by the way. It

" needs finite values of 'fn' "

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
