Hello,
Does anyone have a nice link to some code for calculating the gradient
of a function in C?
Thanks,

Google knows all. I bet "Numerical Recipes in C" might also be a safe
bet for a start, but it is not handy at the moment.

Well, as far as I can see Numerical Recipes in C asks you to write the
command yourself (dfunc?). Also, googling does not seem to yield any
immediate answers.
This should be such a common task, that I bet some C users out there has
some nice code to share? Anyone ;)
Thanks,

If you know your function, you should be able to determine its gradient.
For example, if
f(x,y,z) = 2*x + 3*y**2 -sin(z)
then the gradient is the vector
( 2, 6*y, -cos(z) )
If you only have a bunch of points and do not explicitly know
the function, you have to decide how you are going to compute
the gradient. You have to decide how to create the approximation
of the data fit - linear, piecewise linear, least squares, polynomial,
cubic spline, quaternary spline, piecewise continuous multivariate
spline interpolation, ... there are literally an infinite number of
ways you could choose to fit the data. But YOU have to choose.
Check the Linpack, Mathlib, etc., libraries for some possibilities.

Most C functions aren't even differentiable.

If the longest line in the function is 60 chars, and the function
takes 30 lines, the gradient is height/width, or 30/60, i.e. 1 in
2.

Quite possibly. However this isn't comp.sources.wanted, and the
question isn't a C question, its an algorithm question. You need to
ask in comp.programming or somewhere similar. And do a websearch.
And there quite probably isn't a single generic solution.

I suggest you ask in sci.math.nun-analysis.
I also suggest that you ask about the problem you are trying to solve,
rather than what you think you need to do to solve the problem
(you may or may not be right).

Hint. Do you think this makes sense? "The reason that Numerical
Recipes does not provide a general gradient function is that the
authors are incompetent and/or lazy."

Thanks for all the nice inputs.
I will try to find a way based on this.

A scientific analysis of nuns seems quite interesting ;)

Well, I guess not. But still calculating the gradient should be a quite
common task, and I am also sure that there are plenty of ways doing it
as suggested by Fred L. Kleinschmidt, some of which suit the problem at
hand better than others. Ideally, what I would like to choose from is
some different implementations of this.

Do you mean calculate the gradient at a point, or to differenciate a
function..

Sorry about not being precise enough. But it is the gradient at a point
I'm interested in.
