FindMinimum

FindMinimum[f,x] searches for a local minimum in f, starting from an automatically selected point.

FindMinimum[f,{x,x0}] searches for a local minimum in f, starting from the point x=x0. 

FindMinimum[f,{{x,x0},{y,y0},…}] searches for a local minimum in a function of several variables. 

FindMinimum[{f,cons},{{x,x0},{y,y0},…}] searches for a local minimum subject to the constraints cons.

FindMinimum[{f,cons},{x,y,…}] starts from a point within the region defined by the constraints.
