Detailed Description

Abstract interface satisfied by all solvers.

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef boost::variant<NoSolution, Result, ResultWithWarnings, SolverError> roboptim::GenericSolver::result_t

Result type.

Uses a Boost.Variant to represent the different possible results:

• no solution (problem not yet solved),
• result (problem has been solved successfully),
• result and warnings (problem solved but some errors happened),
• solver error (optimization has failed).

typedef Function::vector_t roboptim::GenericSolver::vector_t

Vector type imported from function class.

---

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum roboptim::GenericSolver::solutions

Define the kind of solution which has been found.

Enumerator:

SOLVER_NO_SOLUTION	Solution has yet to be found.
SOLVER_VALUE	Solution has been found.
SOLVER_VALUE_WARNINGS	Solution has been found but some problems happened.
SOLVER_ERROR	The solver failed to found a solution.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T >

const T& roboptim::GenericSolver::getMinimum

(

)

throw (boost::bad_get) [inline]

Get real result.

Optimization results is wrapped in a Boost.Variant class, this method has to be used to retrieve the real result type.

Returns:

real result

const GenericSolver::result_t & roboptim::GenericSolver::minimum

(

)

throw ()

Returns the function minimum This solves the problem automatically, if it has not yet been solved.

See also:

minimumType()

getMinimum()

References result_, solve(), and SOLVER_NO_SOLUTION.

solutions roboptim::GenericSolver::minimumType

(

)

throw () [inline]

Determine real minimum type.

Returns:

value representing result type

std::ostream & roboptim::GenericSolver::print

(

std::ostream &

o

)

const throw () [virtual]

Display the solver on the specified output stream.

Parameters:

o	output stream used for display

Returns:

output stream

Reimplemented in roboptim::Solver< F, C >, and roboptim::Solver< Function, boost::mpl::vector< Function > >.

Referenced by roboptim::operator<<().

void roboptim::GenericSolver::reset

(

)

throw ()

Force to restart the optimization.

Reset the internal mechanism to force the solution to be re-computed next time getMinimum is called.

References logger, and result_.

virtual void roboptim::GenericSolver::solve

(

)

throw () [pure virtual]

Solve the problem.

Called automatically by getMinimum if required.

Implemented in roboptim::DummySolverLastState, and roboptim::DummySolver.

Referenced by minimum().
