Hello! I am currently working on a theoretical model for a Hamiltonian which describes the Strongly deformed nuclei. I've obtained the analytical form of the energies, and now I want to find two parameters which will fit the experimental data in the best way possible. I know there are two ways (at least): One of to use the Fit function or to use Minimize function in Mathematica. I am working with the Minimize function, which basically tries to find the best parameters such that Chi^2 function will me minimum. \sum(Eth-Eexp)^2=minimum. I have introduced my data, as a simple array, I wrote my formulae carefully, and then I just called the Minimize function. Unfortunately this is not working :( I have denoted my parameters with "a" and "b". I also now that my parameters should be in some ranges (that's why I put some extra conditions in the Minimize call). I only tried the first data set. I don't know why it's not working. And before you ask, I checked whether to see if the functions under the square root are positive or not, and for values "a" and "b" greater than 10 and 20 respectively, the positivity is OK.
If you can help me, it would be great! Thank you in advance! Cheers, RP.
