Davidon-Fletcher-Powell (DFP) method

The Davidon-Fletcher-Powell algorithm (DFP) 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.

A tolerance on the gradient can be configured with with_tolerance_grad: If the norm of the gradient is below said tolerance, the algorithm stops. It defaults to sqrt(EPSILON).

Requirements on the optimization problem

The optimization problem is required to implement CostFunction and Gradient.

Implementations

Construct a new instance of DFP

Example
let dfp: DFP<_, f64> = DFP::new(linesearch);

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 dfp: DFP<_, f64> = DFP::new(linesearch).with_tolerance_grad(1e-6)?;
