Method Detail

optimize

PointValuePair optimize(int maxEval,
                        FUNC f,
                        GoalType goalType,
                        double[] startPoint)
Optimize an objective function.

Parameters:
f - Objective function.
goalType - Type of optimization goal: either GoalType.MAXIMIZE or GoalType.MINIMIZE.
startPoint - Start point for optimization.
maxEval - Maximum number of function evaluations.
Returns:
the point/value pair giving the optimal value for objective function.
Throws:
DimensionMismatchException - if the start point dimension is wrong.
TooManyEvaluationsException - if the maximal number of evaluations is exceeded.
NullArgumentException - if any argument is null.
