My guess is that rFren is computed with c defined above and

>   firstguess<-c( 0,0,0,3,0.5,  0 ,     0 ,  0.000001)

firstguess is assigned above numbers

See

fff<-function(nw=10, czr=5, cz=3) {
c<-nw*czr
d<-nw*cz
rFren<-0.5*(abs((cz-c)/(cz+c))^2+abs((d-czr)/(d+czr))^2)
firstguess<-c( 0,0,0,3,0.5,  0 ,     0 ,  0.000001)
list(rFren, firstguess)
}
