NumOptimiseC
Handle class for numerical opimisers
include	"amma/Num/NumOptimise.hh"
User Level:	Default
Library:	NumOptimise
Example:	testNumOptimise.cc
Section:	Optimisation Numerical Methods.Optimisation
In Scope:	std

Comments:
Handle class for numerical optimisers. It is used in conjunction with cost functions derived from NumCostC. The cost function is used to specify the range of parameters for optimisation etc. The optimiser is simply used by providing a cost function and requesting the X vector that minimises or maximises the cost function given a guess at the solution. See any of the derived optimisers for specific algorithm implementations.

NumOptimiseC()

Default constructor

NumOptimiseC(istream & in)

Constructs from stream

NumOptimiseC(const NumOptimiseC & oth)

Copy constructor

NumOptimiseC(NumOptimiseBC & oth)

~NumOptimiseC()

Destructor

NumOptimiseC Copy() const

Makes a deep copy

NumOptimiseC & operator=(const NumOptimiseC & oth)

Assignment operator

VectorC MinimalX(const NumCostC & domain)

Do the Optimisation. Determines which X gives minimum cost function value

VectorC MaximalX(const NumCostC & domain)

Do the Optimisation. Determines which X gives maximum cost function value

const StringC GetInfo() const

Gets string describing object

const StringC GetName() const

Gets type name of the object

BooleanT Save(ostream & out) const

Writes object to stream, cna be loaded using constructor

RCAbstractC Abstract()

Create an abstract handle to this object.

BooleanT IsHandleType(const DT &) const

Is handle of given type ?

void CheckHandleType(const DT & dummy) const

Check handle type. Throw an expception if not.

BooleanT Save(ostream & out) const

Save to ostream.

RCHandleAC<NumOptimiseBC> Copy() const

Creat a deep copy of this object.
protected:

BooleanT IsValid() const

Check its a valid handle.

BooleanT IsValidObject() const

Check its a valid handle, and that the object is pointed to is also valid.

RCHandleC<NumOptimiseBC> & operator=(const RCHandleC<NumOptimiseBC> & oth)

Assignment.

BooleanT operator==(const RCHandleC<NumOptimiseBC> & oth) const

Comparison operator.

BooleanT operator!=(const RCHandleC<NumOptimiseBC> & oth) const

Comparison operator.

UIntT Hash() const

Hash function.x

BooleanT IsConst() const

Is object constant ?

BooleanT IsNotConst() const

Is object not constant ?

void SetConst(void) const

Lock the object.
This is const as a convience though it actual modified the object, often object you wish to ensure are constant already have const set. protected:

void Invalidate()

Turn this into an invalid handle.

NumOptimiseBC & Body()

Direct access to body.

const NumOptimiseBC & Body() const

Constant access to body.
