Constructor Detail

LinearOptimizer

protected LinearOptimizer()

Simple constructor with default settings.

Method Detail

isRestrictedToNonNegative

protected boolean isRestrictedToNonNegative()

Returns:

true if the variables are restricted to non-negative values.

getFunction

protected LinearObjectiveFunction getFunction()

Returns:

the optimization type.

getConstraints

protected Collection<LinearConstraint> getConstraints()

Returns:

the optimization type.

optimize

public PointValuePair optimize(OptimizationData... optData)
                        throws TooManyIterationsException

Stores data and performs the optimization.
The list of parameters is open-ended so that sub-classes can extend it with arguments specific to their concrete implementations.
When the method is called multiple times, instance data is overwritten only when actually present in the list of arguments: when not specified, data set in a previous call is retained (and thus is optional in subsequent calls).

Overrides:

optimize in class MultivariateOptimizer

Parameters:

optData - Optimization data. The following data will be looked for:

• MaxIter
• LinearObjectiveFunction
• LinearConstraintSet
• NonNegativeConstraint

Returns:

a point/value pair that satifies the convergence criteria.

Throws:

TooManyIterationsException - if the maximal number of iterations is exceeded.
