Class SimpleVectorialValueChecker

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    VectorialConvergenceChecker

    public class SimpleVectorialValueChecker
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements VectorialConvergenceChecker
    Simple implementation of the VectorialConvergenceChecker interface using only objective function values.

    Convergence is considered to have been reached if either the relative difference between the objective function values is smaller than a threshold or if either the absolute difference between the objective function values is smaller than another threshold for all vectors elements.

    Since:
    2.0

        public SimpleVectorialValueChecker()
        Build an instance with default threshold.
      • SimpleVectorialValueChecker

        public SimpleVectorialValueChecker​(double relativeThreshold,
                                           double absoluteThreshold)
        Build an instance with a specified threshold.

        In order to perform only relative checks, the absolute tolerance must be set to a negative value. In order to perform only absolute checks, the relative tolerance must be set to a negative value.

        Parameters:
        relativeThreshold - relative tolerance threshold
        absoluteThreshold - absolute tolerance threshold

      • converged

        public boolean converged​(int iteration,
                                 VectorialPointValuePair previous,
                                 VectorialPointValuePair current)
        Check if the optimization algorithm has converged considering the last points.

        This method may be called several time from the same algorithm iteration with different points. This can be detected by checking the iteration number at each call if needed. Each time this method is called, the previous and current point correspond to points with the same role at each iteration, so they can be compared. As an example, simplex-based algorithms call this method for all points of the simplex, not only for the best or worst ones.

        Specified by:
        converged in interface VectorialConvergenceChecker
        Parameters:
        iteration - index of current iteration
        previous - point from previous iteration
        current - point from current iteration
        Returns:
        true if the algorithm is considered to have converged
