Detailed Description

Wrapper class for the NLSSOL nonlinear least squares library.

The NLSSOLLeastSq class provides a wrapper for NLSSOL, a Fortran 77 sequential quadratic programming library from Stanford University marketed by Stanford Business Associates. It uses a function pointer approach for which passed functions must be either global functions or static member functions. Any nonstatic attribute used within static member functions must be either local to that function or accessed through a static pointer.

The user input mappings are as follows: max_function_evaluations is implemented directly in NLSSOLLeastSq's evaluator functions since there is no NLSSOL parameter equivalent, and max_iterations, convergence_tolerance, output verbosity, verify_level, function_precision, and linesearch_tolerance are mapped into NLSSOL's "Major Iteration Limit", "Optimality Tolerance", "Major Print Level" (verbose: Major Print Level = 20; quiet: Major Print Level = 10), "Verify Level", "Function Precision", and "Linesearch Tolerance" parameters, respectively, using NLSSOL's nloptn() subroutine (as wrapped by nloptn2() from the sol_optn_wrapper.f file). Refer to [Gill, P.E., Murray, W., Saunders, M.A., and Wright, M.H., 1986] for information on NLSSOL's optional input parameters and the nloptn() subroutine.

detect any conflicts due to recursive use of the same Fortran solver

This is used to avoid clashes in state between non-object-oriented (i.e., F77, C) iterator executions, when such iterators could potentially be executing simultaneously (e.g., nested execution). It is not an issue (and a used method is not reported) in cases where a helper execution is completed before a lower level one could be initiated; an example of this is DIRECT for maximization of expected improvement: the EIF maximization is completed before a new point evaluation (which could include nested iteration) is performed.

Reimplemented from Iterator.
