Detailed Description

Parameters to control the minimization algorithm.

Member Enumeration Documentation

DirectionUpdateScheme

enum MinimizeParams::DirectionUpdateScheme

Search direction update scheme.

Enumerator
PolakRibiere	Polak-Ribiere (preconditioned) conjugate gradients (default)
FletcherReeves	Fletcher-Reeves (preconditioned) conjugate gradients.
HestenesStiefel	Hestenes-Stiefel (preconditioned) conjugate gradients.
LBFGS	Limited memory version of the BFGS algorithm.
SteepestDescent	Steepest Descent (always along negative (preconditioned) gradient)

LinminMethod

enum MinimizeParams::LinminMethod

Line minimization method.

Enumerator
DirUpdateRecommended	default method recommended by the direction update scheme
Relax	move by a constant multiple (=alphaTstart) of the search direction (not recommended for CG)
Quad	use the energy at a test step location to find the minimum along the line (default)
CubicWolfe	Cubic line search terminated by Wolfe conditions, possibly without a test step.
