[R] optimization in for loop

Hi, dear R help I am trying to use optim inside a for loop: ##For example. a: intial guess. b: result. f: function to be minimized for (i in 1:10) { b[i] <- optim(a[i], f)} However, some intial values cause error in optim function (e.g. " system is computationally singular..."). Then the for
