  17. * \defgroup NonLinearOptimization_Module Non linear optimization module

  22. *
  23. * This module provides implementation of two important algorithms in non linear
  24. * optimization. In both cases, we consider a system of non linear functions. Of
  25. * course, this should work, and even work very well if those functions are
  26. * actually linear. But if this is so, you should probably better use other
  27. * methods more fitted to this special case.
  28. *
  29. * One algorithm allows to find an extremum of such a system (Levenberg
  30. * Marquardt algorithm) and the second one is used to find
  31. * a zero for the system (Powell hybrid "dogleg" method).
  32. *
  33. * This code is a port of minpack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MINPACK).
  34. * Minpack is a very famous, old, robust and well-reknown package, written in
  35. * fortran. Those implementations have been carefully tuned, tested, and used
  36. * for several decades.
  37. *
  38. * The original fortran code was automatically translated using f2c (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2c) in C,
  39. * then c++, and then cleaned by several different authors.
  40. * The last one of those cleanings being our starting point :
  41. * http://devernay.free.fr/hacks/cminpack.html
  42. *
  43. * Finally, we ported this code to Eigen, creating classes and API
  44. * coherent with Eigen. When possible, we switched to Eigen
  45. * implementation, such as most linear algebra (vectors, matrices, stable norms).
  46. *
  47. * Doing so, we were very careful to check the tests we setup at the very
  48. * beginning, which ensure that the same results are found.
  49. *
  50. * \section Tests Tests
  51. *
  52. * The tests are placed in the file unsupported/test/NonLinear.cpp.
  53. *
  54. * There are two kinds of tests : those that come from examples bundled with cminpack.
  55. * They guaranty we get the same results as the original algorithms (value for 'x',
  56. * for the number of evaluations of the function, and for the number of evaluations
  57. * of the jacobian if ever).
  58. *
  59. * Other tests were added by myself at the very beginning of the
  60. * process and check the results for levenberg-marquardt using the reference data
  61. * on http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/nls/nls_main.shtml. Since then i've
  62. * carefully checked that the same results were obtained when modifiying the
  63. * code. Please note that we do not always get the exact same decimals as they do,
  64. * but this is ok : they use 128bits float, and we do the tests using the C type 'double',
  65. * which is 64 bits on most platforms (x86 and amd64, at least).
  66. * I've performed those tests on several other implementations of levenberg-marquardt, and
  67. * (c)minpack performs VERY well compared to those, both in accuracy and speed.
  68. *
  69. * The documentation for running the tests is on the wiki
  70. * http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Tests
  71. *
  72. * \section API API : overview of methods
  73. *
  74. * Both algorithms can use either the jacobian (provided by the user) or compute
  75. * an approximation by themselves (actually using Eigen \ref NumericalDiff_Module).
  76. * The part of API referring to the latter use 'NumericalDiff' in the method names
  77. * (exemple: LevenbergMarquardt.minimizeNumericalDiff() )
  78. *
  79. * The methods LevenbergMarquardt.lmder1()/lmdif1()/lmstr1() and
  80. * HybridNonLinearSolver.hybrj1()/hybrd1() are specific methods from the original
  81. * minpack package that you probably should NOT use until you are porting a code that
  82. * was previously using minpack. They just define a 'simple' API with default values
  83. * for some parameters.
  84. *
  85. * All algorithms are provided using Two APIs :
  86. * - one where the user inits the algorithm, and uses '*OneStep()' as much as he wants :
  87. * this way the caller have control over the steps
  88. * - one where the user just calls a method (optimize() or solve()) which will
  89. * handle the loop: init + loop until a stop condition is met. Those are provided for
  90. * convenience.
  91. *
  92. * As an example, the method LevenbergMarquardt::minimize() is
  93. * implemented as follow :
  94. * \code
  95. * Status LevenbergMarquardt<FunctorType,Scalar>::minimize(FVectorType &x, const int mode)
  96. * {
  97. * Status status = minimizeInit(x, mode);
  98. * do {
  99. * status = minimizeOneStep(x, mode);
  100. * } while (status==Running);
  101. * return status;
  102. * }
  103. * \endcode
  104. *
  105. * \section examples Examples
  106. *
  107. * The easiest way to understand how to use this module is by looking at the many examples in the file
  108. * unsupported/test/NonLinearOptimization.cpp.
