Optimization problem
Consider the problem: min f(x) s.t. h(x) ≥ 0 where f (x) = $(x_{1} -1)^2 +2(x_{2}-2)^2$ and h(x) = $[1-(x_{1})^2 -(x_{2})^2,x_{1}+x_{2}]^T$ .
(a) Plot the contour of f(x) and the feasible set on one single figure, i.e., overlay the feasible set on the contour plot of f(x);
(b) Find a solution to the problem using the natural logarithmic barrier function, i.e., the barrier function is -$log(h_{1}(x))-log(h_{2}(x))$ . Use initialization vector [0.5 0.5]$^{T} $ and the initial penalty parameter equal to 1 and reduce it by $\frac{1}{2} $ in each iteration. Use a stopping threshold of 0.002;
(c) In a 2-D figure, plot the trajectory (i.e., the values connected by lines with arrows) of the computed solution vector as the number of iteration progresses.

This sounds like a small optimization project. Your offered bounty is too low. I would also suggest to extend your deadline.
Dont think so, and changing the deadline would mean nothing
Is this a question for numerical analysis? It is not possible to compute the solution analytically, you should use methods like gradient descent algorithm to find the minimizer.
Do you need a code or just the algorithm?
code is preferable
That's too much work! I can write a phsodocode, if you want to implement the code yourself, and graph solutions with a computer on your own.
thats fine just answer every part of the problem
Part c) can not be answered without a code and computing the solutions. So can only answer parts a) and b) and provide a phsodocode.
I suppose thats good enough
