BlendedStep

class BlendedStep(*args)

Blended step.

Available constructors:

BlendedStep(epsilon, eta=1.0)

Parameters
epsilonsequence of float

Finite difference step factors for each dimension.

etapositive float, sequence of positive float with the same dimension as epsilon

Finite difference step offsets for each dimension.

ConstantStep

Notes

BlendedStep defines a list of finite difference steps equal to: epsilon (|x| + eta).

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> epsilon = [1e-4, 2e-4]
>>> x = [2.0]*2
>>> steps = ot.BlendedStep(epsilon)
>>> print(steps(x))
[0.0003,0.0006]
>>> steps = ot.BlendedStep(epsilon, 0.0)
>>> print(steps(x))
[0.0002,0.0004]
>>> steps = ot.BlendedStep(epsilon, [1.0, 2.0])
>>> print(steps(x))
[0.0003,0.0008]
>>> steps = ot.BlendedStep(epsilon, 2.0)
>>> print(steps(x))
[0.0004,0.0008]
