This program is made to find the minimal value of the function
F(x) = x*(x-1)
This example uses Input file, Output file and supporting script nodes, as well as an in-program batch node. The supporting script calls a python program which outputs the function value .
This example could have been done much more simply in EZOpt (or by hand), but shows the process in which an external program can be used in the optimization process.
