The work is dedicated to local optimization problem in case of “Black box” functions. Some multidimensional derivative-free minimization methods like Rosenbrock method and model based method are considered. A programming implementation of model based method takes place along with an approach to construct a hybrid algorithm on the basis of the quadratic and Rosenbrock methods. Based on a wide range of benchmark functions the paper covers comparison of the methods.
