public interface BoundConstrainedProblem
extends OptimizationProblem

Methods that a bound-constrained problem must support. Note that some convenience methods are left out. For instance, a isFeasible() method may be useful, but the idea is that this interface is going to be used primarily by other classes for problem, and only occasionally directly by a user. Note: objectives are to be minimized.

Method Detail

getConstraintViolations

double[] getConstraintViolations(double[] x)

Returns the bound-constraint violations for a given input.

Parameters:

x - the given input.

Returns:

an array of constraint violations.

setBounds

void setBounds(Hypercube bounds)

Sets the bounds for this problem. Row 0 corresponds to the lower bound and row 1 corresponds to the upper bound.

Parameters:

bounds - the given bounds.
