Notes

Algorithms parameters:

Ipopt algorithms can be adapted using numerous parameters, described here. These parameters can be modified using the ResourceMap. For every option optionName, one simply add a key named Ipopt-optionName with the value to use, as shown below:
>>> import openturns as ot
>>> ot.ResourceMap.AddAsUnsignedInteger('Ipopt-print_level', 5)
>>> ot.ResourceMap.AddAsScalar('Ipopt-diverging_iterates_tol', 1e15)

Convergence criteria:

To estimate the convergence of the algorithm during the optimization process, Ipopt uses specific tolerance parameters, different from the standard absolute/relative/residual errors used in OpenTURNS. The definition of Ipopt’s parameters can be found in this paper, page 3.

Thus the attributes maximumAbsoluteError, maximumRelativeError, maximumResidualError and maximumConstraintError defined in’ OptimizationAlgorithm are not used in this case. The tolerances used by Ipopt can be set using specific options (e.g. tol, dual_inf_tol …).

Examples

The code below ensures the optimization of the following problem:

$min \left( - x_0 - x_1 - x_2 \right)$

subject to

$\left(x_1 - \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + \left(x_2 - \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 \leq \frac{1}{4} x_0 - x_1 \leq 0 x_0 + x_2 + x_3 \leq 2 x_0 \in \{0,1\}^n (x_1, x_2) \in \mathbb{R}^2 x_3 \in \mathbb{N}$

>>> import openturns as ot

>>> # Definition of objective function
>>> objectiveFunction = ot.SymbolicFunction(['x0','x1','x2','x3'], ['-x0 -x1 -x2'])

>>> # Definition of variables bounds
>>> bounds = ot.Interval([0,0,0,0],[1,1e308,1e308,5],[True,True,True,True],[True,False,False,True])

Inequality constraints are defined by a function $h$ such that $h(x) \geq 0$ . The inequality expression above has to be modified to match this formulation.

>>> # Definition of constraints
>>> h = ot.SymbolicFunction(['x0','x1','x2','x3'], ['-(x1-1/2)^2 - (x2-1/2)^2 + 1/4', '-x0 + x1', '-x0 - x2 - x3 + 2'])

>>> # Setting up Ipopt problem
>>> problem = ot.OptimizationProblem(objectiveFunction)
>>> problem.setBounds(bounds)
>>> problem.setInequalityConstraint(h)

>>> algo = ot.Ipopt(problem)
>>> algo.setStartingPoint([0,0,0,0])
>>> algo.setMaximumEvaluationNumber(1000)
>>> algo.setMaximumIterationNumber(1000)
>>> ot.ResourceMap.AddAsScalar('Ipopt-max_cpu_time', 5.0)

>>> # Running the solver
>>> algo.run() 

>>> # Retrieving the results
>>> result = algo.getResult() 
>>> optimalPoint = result.getOptimalPoint() 
>>> optimalValue = result.getOptimalValue() 
>>> evaluationNumber = result.getInputSample().getSize()
