Non-linear Conjugate Gradient method

A generalization of the conjugate gradient method for nonlinear optimization problems.

Requires an initial parameter vector.

Requirements on the optimization problem

The optimization problem is required to implement CostFunction and Gradient.

Implementations

Construct a new instance of NonlinearConjugateGradient.

Takes a LineSearch and a NLCGBetaUpdate as input.

Example
let nlcg: NonlinearConjugateGradient<Vec<f64>, _, _, f64> =
    NonlinearConjugateGradient::new(linesearch, beta_method);

Specifiy the number of iterations after which a restart should be performed.

This allows the algorithm to “forget” previous information which may not be helpful anymore.

Example
let nlcg = nlcg.restart_iters(100);

Set the value for the orthogonality measure.

Setting this parameter leads to a restart of the algorithm (setting beta = 0) after consecutive search directions stop being orthogonal. In other words, if this condition is met:

|\nabla f_k^T * \nabla f_{k-1}| / | \nabla f_k |^2 >= v

A typical value for v is 0.1.

Example
let nlcg = nlcg.restart_orthogonality(0.1);
