Trait optimization::Minimizer

pub trait Minimizer<F: ?Sized> {
    type Solution: Evaluation;
    fn minimize(
        &self, 
        function: &F, 
        initial_position: Vec<f64>
    ) -> Self::Solution;
}

Defines an optimizer that is able to minimize a given objective function F.

Associated Types

type Solution: Evaluation

Type of the solution the Minimizer returns.

Required Methods

fn minimize(&self, function: &F, initial_position: Vec<f64>) -> Self::Solution

Performs the actual minimization and returns a solution that might be better than the initially provided one.
