Struct argmin::solver::quasinewton::BFGS

pub struct BFGS<L, F> { /* private fields */ }

BFGS method

The Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno algorithm (BFGS) is a method for solving unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems.

The algorithm requires a line search which is provided via the constructor. Additionally an initial guess for the parameter vector and an initial inverse Hessian is required, which are to be provided via the configure method of the Executor (See IterState, in particular IterState::param and IterState::inv_hessian). In the same way the initial gradient and cost function corresponding to the initial parameter vector can be provided. If these are not provided, they will be computed during initialization of the algorithm.

Two tolerances can be configured, which are both needed in the stopping criteria. One is a tolerance on the gradient (set with with_tolerance_grad): If the norm of the gradient is below said tolerance, the algorithm stops. It defaults to sqrt(EPSILON). The other one is a tolerance on the change of the cost function from one iteration to the other. If the change is below this tolerance (default: EPSILON), the algorithm stops. This parameter can be set via with_tolerance_cost.

Requirements on the optimization problem

The optimization problem is required to implement CostFunction and Gradient.

Implementations

impl<L, F> BFGS<L, F>

where F: ArgminFloat,

pub fn new(linesearch: L) -> Self

Construct a new instance of BFGS

Example

let bfgs: BFGS<_, f64> = BFGS::new(linesearch);

pub fn with_tolerance_grad(self, tol_grad: F) -> Result<Self, Error>

The algorithm stops if the norm of the gradient is below tol_grad.

The provided value must be non-negative. Defaults to sqrt(EPSILON).

Example

let bfgs: BFGS<_, f64> = BFGS::new(linesearch).with_tolerance_grad(1e-6)?;

pub fn with_tolerance_cost(self, tol_cost: F) -> Result<Self, Error>

Sets tolerance for the stopping criterion based on the change of the cost stopping criterion

The provided value must be non-negative. Defaults to EPSILON.

Example

let bfgs: BFGS<_, f64> = BFGS::new(linesearch).with_tolerance_cost(1e-6)?;
