There are various algorithms to find the minima of a function, most of them are based on calculating the gradients and using them to find and approximate minima. In this work we will look at a numerical algorithm to find the minimum value of a function, since it is a numerical algorithm hence it does not requires calculation of any gradients. Also the error in the solution decreases exponentially fast with each iteration, thus a highly accurate result can be generated within a small number of

Though the algorithm presented here is to find an minima in a given search domain, but with proper parameters it can be used to find the global minima in the search domain.
