Step-by-Step Analysis
Starting with the task at hand, we need to evaluate each statement in the list of true/false options. Option 1: "One of the issues in minimization using Newton’s method is that for non-convex functions, the Hessian may not be positive semi-definite because of which the algorithm can diverge." - This aligns with a standard caution in optimization: Newton’s method relies on the Hessian being positive definite (or at least positive semi-definite) to ensure a proper Newton step toward a local minimum. When the Hessian is not PSD, the Newton step can point in a non-desired direction, potentially leading to ascent or divergence, especially in non-convex landscapes.
