__init__(*args)¶

getCheckStatus()¶

Accessor to check status flag.

Returns:

checkStatusbool: Whether to check the termination status. If set to False, run() will not throw an exception if the algorithm does not fully converge and will allow one to still find a feasible candidate.

Returns:

class_namestr: The object class name (object.__class__.__name__).

getMaximumAbsoluteError()¶

Accessor to maximum allowed absolute error.

Returns:

maximumAbsoluteErrorfloat: Maximum allowed absolute error, where the absolute error is defined by $\epsilon^a_n=\|\vect{x}_{n+1}-\vect{x}_n\|_{\infty}$ where $\vect{x}_{n+1}$ and $\vect{x}_n$ are two consecutive approximations of the optimum.

getMaximumCallsNumber()¶

Accessor to maximum allowed number of calls.

Returns:

Accessor to maximum allowed constraint error.

Returns:
