Detailed Description

Base class for the optimizer branch of the iterator hierarchy.

The Optimizer class provides common data and functionality for DOTOptimizer, CONMINOptimizer, NPSOLOptimizer, SNLLOptimizer, NLPQLPOptimizer, COLINOptimizer, OptDartsOptimizer, NCSUOptimizer, NonlinearCGOptimizer, NomadOptimizer, and JEGAOptimizer.

◆ initialize_run()

void initialize_run ( )
protectedvirtual

Implements portions of initialize_run specific to Optimizers. This function should be invoked (or reimplemented) by any derived implementations of initialize_run() (which would otherwise hide it).

Reimplemented from Minimizer.

Reimplemented in ROLOptimizer, and SNLLOptimizer.

◆ post_run()

void post_run ( std::ostream &  s)
protectedvirtual

◆ finalize_run()

void finalize_run ( )
inlineprotectedvirtual

utility function to perform common operations following post_run(); deallocation and resetting of instance pointers

Optional: perform finalization phases of run sequence, like deallocating memory and resetting instance pointers. Commonly used in sub-iterator executions. This is a virtual function; when re-implementing, a derived class must call its nearest parent's finalize_run(), typically after performing its own implementation steps.

Reimplemented from Minimizer.

Reimplemented in SNLLOptimizer.

Recast callback to reduce multiple objectives or residuals to a single objective, with gradients and Hessians as needed.

Objective function map from multiple primary responses (objective or residuals) to a single objective. Currently supports weighted sum; may later want more general transformations, e.g., goal-oriented

forward mapping: maps multiple primary response functions to a single weighted objective for single-objective optimizers

This function is responsible for the mapping of multiple objective functions into a single objective for publishing to single-objective optimizers. Used in DOTOptimizer, NPSOLOptimizer, SNLLOptimizer, and SGOPTApplication on every function evaluation. The simple weighting approach (using primaryRespFnWts) is the only technique supported currently. The weightings are used to scale function values, gradients, and Hessians as needed.
