Taking full Newton's steps to solve the class example

clear all;
close all;
clc;
[X1,X2] = meshgrid(-0.5:0.1:6, 0:0.01:9);
Z = func(X1,X2);
contour(X1, X2, Z)
hold on
grid on

x = [1,3]';
plot(x(1), x(2), 'o')
text(x(1)+0.2, x(2), '0')

for k = 1:10
   slope = -first_deriv(x)
   step = hessian(x)\slope;   % Solves the Ax=b problem, as x = A\b
   x = x + step;
   plot(x(1), x(2), '*')
   text(x(1)+0.1, x(2), num2str(k))
end

func.m

function y = func(x1,x2)
  y = 4.*x1.*x2 - 5.*(x1-2).^4 - 3.*(x2-5).^4;

first_deriv.m

function y = first_deriv(x)
  y = [4*x(2) - 20*(x(1)-2)^3; 
       4*x(1) - 12*(x(2)-5)^3];

hessian.m

function y = hessian(x)
  y = [-60*(x(1)-2)^2, 4; 
        4, -36*(x(2)-5)^2];
