Just curious if Newton's method in high dimensions should always quickly converge to a min/max or saddle point. I can't seem to get the value of my gradient below 12-16; so, its not "diverging" but its not converging either. I want to avoid saddle points so I'm using Fletcher-Reeves method, but I figure if I test it with Newton-Raphson then it should at least converge to a saddle point quickly, right? (assuming my initial starting point is "good" in some sense).
thanks all
