CMinpack¶

class CMinpack(*args)¶

Interface to CMinpack.

This class exposes a least-squares solver from the non-linear optimization library [cminpack2007].

Parameters

problemOptimizationProblem: Least-squares optimization problem to solve.

Notes

The algorithm relies on the lmder function, based on first-order derivative. Box bound constraints are supported using a variable change.

More details are available here.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot
>>> dim = 2
>>> residualFunction = ot.SymbolicFunction(['x0', 'x1'], ['10*(x1-x0^2)', '0.5-x0', '0.3-2*x1'])
>>> problem = ot.LeastSquaresProblem(residualFunction)
>>> problem.setBounds(ot.Interval([-3.0] * dim, [5.0] * dim))
>>> algo = ot.CMinpack(problem)  
>>> algo.setStartingPoint([0.0] * dim)  
>>> algo.run()  
>>> result = algo.getResult()  
>>> x_star = result.getOptimalPoint()  
>>> y_star = result.getOptimalValue()
