Detailed Description

This class implements the Brent's method to find the minimum of a function of a single variable. No knowledge of the derivative is required.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ math_BrentMinimum() [1/2]

math_BrentMinimum::math_BrentMinimum ( const Standard_Real  TolX,
const Standard_Integer  NbIterations = 100,
const Standard_Real  ZEPS = 1.0e-12 
)

This constructor should be used in a sub-class to initialize correctly all the fields of this class.

◆ math_BrentMinimum() [2/2]

math_BrentMinimum::math_BrentMinimum ( const Standard_Real  TolX,
const Standard_Real  Fbx,
const Standard_Integer  NbIterations = 100,
const Standard_Real  ZEPS = 1.0e-12 
)

This constructor should be used in a sub-class to initialize correctly all the fields of this class. It has to be used if F(Bx) is known.

◆ ~math_BrentMinimum()

virtual math_BrentMinimum::~math_BrentMinimum ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Dump()

void math_BrentMinimum::Dump ( Standard_OStream o) const

Prints on the stream o information on the current state of the object. Is used to redefine the operator <<.

◆ IsDone()

Standard_Boolean math_BrentMinimum::IsDone ( ) const

Returns true if the computations are successful, otherwise returns false.

◆ IsSolutionReached()

virtual Standard_Boolean math_BrentMinimum::IsSolutionReached ( math_Function theFunction)
virtual

This method is called at the end of each iteration to check if the solution is found. It can be redefined in a sub-class to implement a specific test to stop the iterations.

◆ Location()

Standard_Real math_BrentMinimum::Location ( ) const

returns the location value of the minimum. Exception NotDone is raised if the minimum was not found.

◆ Minimum()

Standard_Real math_BrentMinimum::Minimum ( ) const

returns the value of the minimum. Exception NotDone is raised if the minimum was not found.

◆ NbIterations()

Standard_Integer math_BrentMinimum::NbIterations ( ) const

returns the number of iterations really done during the computation of the minimum. Exception NotDone is raised if the minimum was not found.

◆ Perform()

void math_BrentMinimum::Perform ( math_Function F,
const Standard_Real  Ax,
const Standard_Real  Bx,
const Standard_Real  Cx 
)

Brent minimization is performed on function F from a given bracketing triplet of abscissas Ax, Bx, Cx (such that Bx is between Ax and Cx, F(Bx) is less than both F(Bx) and F(Cx)) The solution is found when: abs(Xi - Xi-1) <= TolX * abs(Xi) + ZEPS;.
