Constructor & Destructor Documentation

sc::Function::Function (const Ref< KeyVal > &, double funcacc = DBL_EPSILON, double gradacc = DBL_EPSILON, double hessacc = DBL_EPSILON)

The keyval constructor reads the following keywords:

matrixkit

Gives a SCMatrixKit object. If it is not specified, a default SCMatrixKit is selected.

value_accuracy

Sets the accuracy to which values are computed. The default is the machine accuracy.

gradient_accuracy

Sets the accuracy to which gradients are computed. The default is the machine accuracy.

hessian_accuracy

Sets the accuracy to which hessians are computed. The default is the machine accuracy.

Member Function Documentation

virtual Ref< NonlinearTransform > sc::Function::change_coordinates () [virtual]

An optimizer can call change coordinates periodically to give the function an opportunity to change its coordinate system. A return value of 0 means the coordinates were not changed. Otherwise, a transform object to the new coordinate system is return. The function object applies the transform to any objects it contains. This will obsolete the function data.
