Detailed Description

Class for using local gradient-based optimization approaches to calculate interval bounds for epistemic uncertainty quantification.

The NonDLocalInterval class supports local gradient-based optimization apporaches to determining interval bounds for epistemic UQ. The interval bounds may be on the entire function in the case of pure interval analysis (e.g. intervals on input = intervals on output), or the intervals may be on statistics of an "inner loop" aleatory analysis such as intervals on means, variances, or percentile levels.

Member Function Documentation

check_sub_iterator_conflict()

void check_sub_iterator_conflict ( )

virtual

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.
