Constructor Detail

AbstractOptimizer

public AbstractOptimizer()

Creates a new instance of AbstractOptimizer

Method Detail

configuration

public IOptimizerConfiguration configuration()

Get the IOptimizer configuration

Specified by:

configuration in interface IOptimizer

Returns:

The configuration.

optimize

public abstract void optimize()

Perform the optimization.

Specified by:

optimize in interface IOptimizer

Returns:

true if the optimization was successfull, false otherwise.

reset

public void reset()

Reset the function, the domain of constraints and the internal configuration.

Specified by:

reset in interface IOptimizer

result

public IOptimizerResult result()

Get the optimization results.

Specified by:

result in interface IOptimizer

Returns:

The result.

setConfiguration

public void setConfiguration(IOptimizerConfiguration configuration)

Set the internal configuration of the Optimizer.

Specified by:

setConfiguration in interface IOptimizer

Parameters:

configuration - The configuration.

Returns:

true if the configuration was set succesfully, false otherwise.

setConstraints

public void setConstraints(IDomainConstraint iDomainConstraint)

Set the domain of constraints for the IOptimizer. If a domain of constraints already exists it will be overwritten.

Specified by:

setConstraints in interface IOptimizer

Parameters:

iDomainConstraint - The domain of constraints.

Returns:

true if the IDomainConstraint is set succesfully, false otherwise.

setFunction

public void setFunction(hep.aida.IFunction iFunction)

Set the IFunction to be optimized. When setting a function the current configuration is reset.

Specified by:

setFunction in interface IOptimizer

Parameters:

iFunction - The IFunction to be optimized.

Returns:

true if the IFunction is set succesfully, false otherwise.

listVariableSettings

public String[] listVariableSettings()

Description copied from interface: IOptimizer

Get the list of the names of the IVariableSettings defined.

Specified by:

listVariableSettings in interface IOptimizer

Returns:

The list of the names.

resetVariableSettings

public void resetVariableSettings()

Description copied from interface: IOptimizer

Reset all variable settings.

Specified by:

resetVariableSettings in interface IOptimizer

variableSettings

public IVariableSettings variableSettings(String name)

Description copied from interface: IOptimizer

Get the IVariableSettings corresponding to a give variable. If the IVariableSettings does not exist, a new one is created.

Specified by:

variableSettings in interface IOptimizer

Parameters:

name - The variable's name.

Returns:

The corresponging IVariableSettings
