Detailed Description

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

Define an abstract function which is derivable twice ( $C^2$).

A twice derivable function is a derivable function which provides a way to compute its hessian.

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

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

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

The hessian of a $\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$ function where $n > 1$ and $m > 1$ is a tensor. To avoid this costly representation, the function is split into $m$ $\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ functions. See #DifferentialeFunction documentation for more information.

template<typename T >
hessianSize_t roboptim::GenericTwiceDifferentiableFunction< T >::hessianSize ( ) const throw () [inline]

Return the size of a hessian.

Hessian size is equales to (input size, input size).

Returns:
hessian's size as a pair

template<typename T >
virtual void roboptim::GenericTwiceDifferentiableFunction< T >::impl_hessian ( hessian_t hessian,
const argument_t argument,
size_type  functionId = 0 
) const throw () [protected, pure virtual]

Hessian evaluation.

Compute the hessian, has to be implemented in concrete classes. The hessian is computed for a specific sub-function which id is passed through the functionId argument.

Warning:
Do not call this function directly, call hessian instead.
Parameters:
hessianhessian will be stored here
argumentpoint where the hessian will be computed
functionIdevaluated function id in the split representation

Implemented in roboptim::NTimesDerivableFunction< 2 >, roboptim::NumericQuadraticFunction, and roboptim::GenericLinearFunction< T >.

template<typename T >
bool roboptim::GenericTwiceDifferentiableFunction< T >::isValidHessian ( const hessian_t hessian) const throw () [inline]

Check if the hessian is valid (check sizes).

Parameters:
hessianhessian that will be checked
Returns:
true if valid, false if not

template<typename T >
void roboptim::GenericTwiceDifferentiableFunction< T >::setZero ( hessian_t symmetric) const [inline, protected]

Set a symmetric matrix to zero.

Note:
there might be an eigen function to do that.
