Question: Minimizing a cost function with over a hundred variables

Question:Minimizing a cost function with over a hundred variables

Hello everyone

I have a cost function I would like to minimize. It is a fairly simple function that only contains multiplications and additions.

Only problem is, this function has about a hundred variables, but they can only be between the interval [0,1] so I guess it makes the problem easier.

Is it possible to write a little program in maple that can be ran as much as I want it to run and that could try to find an approximation of the actual solution? (By trying random numbers between 0 and 1)

Thank you very much
