Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class roboptim::GenericDifferentiableFunction< T >

Define an abstract derivable function ( \(C^1\)).

A derivable function which provides a way to compute its gradient/jacobian.

\[ f : x \rightarrow f(x) \]

\(x \in \mathbb{R}^n\), \(f(x) \in \mathbb{R}^m\) where \(n\) is the input size and \(m\) is the output size.

Gradient computation is done through the impl_gradient method that has to implemented by the concrete class inheriting this class.

Jacobian computation is automatically done by concatenating gradients together, however this naive implementation can be overridden by the concrete class.

The gradient of a \(\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m\) function where \(n > 1\) and \(m > 1\) is a matrix. As this representation is costly, RobOptim considers these functions as \(m\) \(\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) functions. Through that mechanism, gradients are always vectors and jacobian are always matrices. When the gradient or the jacobian has to be computed, one has to precise which of the \(m\) functions should be considered.

If \(m = 1\), then the function id must always be 0 and can be safely ignored in the gradient/jacobian computation. The class provides a default value for the function id so that these functions do not have to explicitly set the function id.

Examples:
problem-cc.cc.
