After you tell your optimizer to activate OptGuard this technology starts to silently monitor function values and gradients/Jacobians being passed all around during your optimization session. Depending on specific set of checks enabled OptGuard may perform additional function evaluations (say, about 3*N evaluations if you want to check analytic gradient for errors). Upon discovering that something strange happens (function values and/or gradient components change too sharply and/or unexpectedly) OptGuard sets one of the "suspicion flags" (without interrupting optimization session). After optimization is done, you can examine OptGuard report. Following report fields can be set: * nonc0suspected * nonc1suspected * badgradsuspected === WHAT CAN BE DETECTED WITH OptGuard INTEGRITY CHECKER ================= Following types of errors in your target function (constraints) can be caught: a) discontinuous functions ("non-C0" part of the report) b) functions with discontinuous derivative ("non-C1" part of the report) c) errors in the analytic gradient provided by user These types of errors result in optimizer stopping well before reaching solution (most often - right after encountering discontinuity). Type A errors are usually coding errors during implementation of the target function. Most "normal" problems involve continuous functions, and anyway you can't reliably optimize discontinuous function. Type B errors are either coding errors or (in case code itself is correct) evidence of the fact that your problem is an "incorrect" one. Most optimizers (except for ones provided by MINNS subpackage) do not support nonsmooth problems. Type C errors are coding errors which often prevent optimizer from making even one step or result in optimizing stopping too early, as soon as actual descent direction becomes too different from one suggested by user- supplied gradient. === WHAT IS REPORTED ===================================================== Following set of report fields deals with discontinuous target functions, ones not belonging to C0 continuity class: * nonc0suspected - is a flag which is set upon discovering some indication of the discontinuity. If this flag is false, the rest of "non-C0" fields should be ignored * nonc0fidx - is an index of the function (0 for target function, 1 or higher for nonlinear constraints) which is suspected of being "non-C0" * nonc0lipshitzc - a Lipchitz constant for a function which was suspected of being non-continuous. * nonc0test0positive - set to indicate specific test which detected continuity violation (test #0) Following set of report fields deals with discontinuous gradient/Jacobian, i.e. with functions violating C1 continuity: * nonc1suspected - is a flag which is set upon discovering some indication of the discontinuity. If this flag is false, the rest of "non-C1" fields should be ignored * nonc1fidx - is an index of the function (0 for target function, 1 or higher for nonlinear constraints) which is suspected of being "non-C1" * nonc1lipshitzc - a Lipchitz constant for a function gradient which was suspected of being non-smooth. * nonc1test0positive - set to indicate specific test which detected continuity violation (test #0) * nonc1test1positive - set to indicate specific test which detected continuity violation (test #1) Following set of report fields deals with errors in the gradient: * badgradsuspected - is a flad which is set upon discovering an error in the analytic gradient supplied by user * badgradfidx - index of the function with bad gradient (0 for target function, 1 or higher for nonlinear constraints) * badgradvidx - index of the variable * badgradxbase - location where Jacobian is tested * following matrices store user-supplied Jacobian and its numerical differentiation version (which is assumed to be free from the coding errors), both of them computed near the initial point: * badgraduser, an array[K,N], analytic Jacobian supplied by user * badgradnum, an array[K,N], numeric Jacobian computed by ALGLIB Here K is a total number of nonlinear functions (target + nonlinear constraints), N is a variable number. The element of badgraduser[] with index [badgradfidx,badgradvidx] is assumed to be wrong.

LagLC[i]>0 means that I-th constraint at the upper bound, LagLC[i]<0 means that I-th constraint is at the lower bound, LagLC[i]=0 means that I-th linear constraint is inactive. On failure (or when optimizer does not support Lagrange multipliers) these arrays are zero-filled. NOTE: methods from IPM family may also return meaningful Lagrange multipliers on completion with codes -3 (infeasibility detected) and -4 (unboundedness detected). It is possible that seeming infeasibility/unboundedness of the problem is due to rounding errors In this case last values of Lagrange multipliers are returned. *************************************************************************/ class _minqpreport_owner { public: _minqpreport_owner(); _minqpreport_owner(const _minqpreport_owner &rhs); _minqpreport_owner& operator=(const _minqpreport_owner &rhs); virtual ~_minqpreport_owner(); alglib_impl::minqpreport* c_ptr(); alglib_impl::minqpreport* c_ptr() const; protected: alglib_impl::minqpreport *p_struct; }; class minqpreport : public _minqpreport_owner { public: minqpreport(); minqpreport(const minqpreport &rhs); minqpreport& operator=(const minqpreport &rhs); virtual ~minqpreport(); ae_int_t &inneriterationscount; ae_int_t &outeriterationscount; ae_int_t &nmv; ae_int_t &ncholesky; ae_int_t &terminationtype; real_1d_array lagbc; real_1d_array laglc; }; #endif #if defined(AE_COMPILE_REVISEDDUALSIMPLEX) || !defined(AE_PARTIAL_BUILD) #endif #if defined(AE_COMPILE_MINLP) || !defined(AE_PARTIAL_BUILD) /************************************************************************* This object stores linear solver state.

The subroutine generates the approximation of an inverse Hessian matrix by using information about the last M steps of the algorithm (instead of N). It lessens a required amount of memory from a value of order N^2 to a value of order 2*N*M. REQUIREMENTS: Algorithm will request following information during its operation: * function value F and its gradient G (simultaneously) at given point X USAGE: 1. User initializes algorithm state with MinLBFGSCreate() call 2. User tunes solver parameters with MinLBFGSSetCond() MinLBFGSSetStpMax() and other functions 3. User calls MinLBFGSOptimize() function which takes algorithm state and pointer (delegate, etc.) to callback function which calculates F/G. 4. User calls MinLBFGSResults() to get solution 5. Optionally user may call MinLBFGSRestartFrom() to solve another problem with same N/M but another starting point and/or another function. MinLBFGSRestartFrom() allows to reuse already initialized structure. INPUT PARAMETERS: N - problem dimension. N>0 M - number of corrections in the BFGS scheme of Hessian approximation update. Recommended value: 3<=M<=7. The smaller value causes worse convergence, the bigger will not cause a considerably better convergence, but will cause a fall in the performance. M<=N. X - initial solution approximation, array[0..N-1]. OUTPUT PARAMETERS: State - structure which stores algorithm state NOTES: 1. you may tune stopping conditions with MinLBFGSSetCond() function 2. if target function contains exp() or other fast growing functions, and optimization algorithm makes too large steps which leads to overflow, use MinLBFGSSetStpMax() function to bound algorithm's steps.

DiffStep- differentiation step, >0 OUTPUT PARAMETERS: State - structure which stores algorithm state NOTES: 1. algorithm uses 4-point central formula for differentiation. 2. differentiation step along I-th axis is equal to DiffStep*S[I] where S[] is scaling vector which can be set by MinLBFGSSetScale() call. 3. we recommend you to use moderate values of differentiation step. Too large step will result in too large truncation errors, while too small step will result in too large numerical errors. 1.0E-6 can be good value to start with. 4. Numerical differentiation is very inefficient - one gradient calculation needs 4*N function evaluations. This function will work for any N - either small (1...10), moderate (10...100) or large (100...). However, performance penalty will be too severe for any N's except for small ones. We should also say that code which relies on numerical differentiation is less robust and precise. LBFGS needs exact gradient values. Imprecise gradient may slow down convergence, especially on highly nonlinear problems. Thus we recommend to use this function for fast prototyping on small- dimensional problems only, and to implement analytical gradient as soon as possible. -- ALGLIB -- Copyright 16.05.2011 by Bochkanov Sergey *************************************************************************/ void minlbfgscreatef(const ae_int_t n, const ae_int_t m, const real_1d_array &x, const double diffstep, minlbfgsstate &state, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); void minlbfgscreatef(const ae_int_t m, const real_1d_array &x, const double diffstep, minlbfgsstate &state, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); /************************************************************************* This function sets stopping conditions for L-BFGS optimization algorithm.

If difference is too large, an error flag is set and optimization session continues. After optimization session is over, you can retrieve the report which stores both gradients and specific components highlighted as suspicious by the OptGuard. The primary OptGuard report can be retrieved with minlbfgsoptguardresults(). IMPORTANT: gradient check is a high-overhead option which will cost you about 3*N additional function evaluations. In many cases it may cost as much as the rest of the optimization session. YOU SHOULD NOT USE IT IN THE PRODUCTION CODE UNLESS YOU WANT TO CHECK DERIVATIVES PROVIDED BY SOME THIRD PARTY. NOTE: unlike previous incarnation of the gradient checking code, OptGuard does NOT interrupt optimization even if it discovers bad gradient.

Smoothness monitor silently observes solution process and tries to detect ill-posed problems, i.e. ones with: a) discontinuous target function (non-C0) b) nonsmooth target function (non-C1) Smoothness monitoring does NOT interrupt optimization even if it suspects that your problem is nonsmooth. It just sets corresponding flags in the OptGuard report which can be retrieved after optimization is over. Smoothness monitoring is a moderate overhead option which often adds less than 1% to the optimizer running time. Thus, you can use it even for large scale problems. NOTE: OptGuard does NOT guarantee that it will always detect C0/C1 continuity violations. First, minor errors are hard to catch - say, a 0.0001 difference in the model values at two sides of the gap may be due to discontinuity of the model - or simply because the model has changed. Second, C1-violations are especially difficult to detect in a noninvasive way. The optimizer usually performs very short steps near the nonsmoothness, and differentiation usually introduces a lot of numerical noise. It is hard to tell whether some tiny discontinuity in the slope is due to real nonsmoothness or just due to numerical noise alone. Our top priority was to avoid false positives, so in some rare cases minor errors may went unnoticed (however, in most cases they can be spotted with restart from different initial point). INPUT PARAMETERS: state - algorithm state level - monitoring level: * 0 - monitoring is disabled * 1 - noninvasive low-overhead monitoring; function values and/or gradients are recorded, but OptGuard does not try to perform additional evaluations in order to get more information about suspicious locations. === EXPLANATION ========================================================== One major source of headache during optimization is the possibility of the coding errors in the target function/constraints (or their gradients). Such errors most often manifest themselves as discontinuity or nonsmoothness of the target/constraints. Another frequent situation is when you try to optimize something involving lots of min() and max() operations, i.e. nonsmooth target. Although not a coding error, it is nonsmoothness anyway - and smooth optimizers usually stop right after encountering nonsmoothness, well before reaching solution. OptGuard integrity checker helps you to catch such situations: it monitors function values/gradients being passed to the optimizer and tries to errors. Upon discovering suspicious pair of points it raises appropriate flag (and allows you to continue optimization). When optimization is done, you can study OptGuard result. -- ALGLIB -- Copyright 21.11.2018 by Bochkanov Sergey *************************************************************************/ void minlbfgsoptguardsmoothness(const minlbfgsstate &state, const ae_int_t level, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); void minlbfgsoptguardsmoothness(const minlbfgsstate &state, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); /************************************************************************* Results of OptGuard integrity check, should be called after optimization session is over. === PRIMARY REPORT ======================================================= OptGuard performs several checks which are intended to catch common errors in the implementation of nonlinear function/gradient: * incorrect analytic gradient * discontinuous (non-C0) target functions (constraints) * nonsmooth (non-C1) target functions (constraints) Each of these checks is activated with appropriate function: * minlbfgsoptguardgradient() for gradient verification * minlbfgsoptguardsmoothness() for C0/C1 checks Following flags are set when these errors are suspected: * rep.badgradsuspected, and additionally: * rep.badgradvidx for specific variable (gradient element) suspected * rep.badgradxbase, a point where gradient is tested * rep.badgraduser, user-provided gradient (stored as 2D matrix with single row in order to make report structure compatible with more complex optimizers like MinNLC or MinLM) * rep.badgradnum, reference gradient obtained via numerical differentiation (stored as 2D matrix with single row in order to make report structure compatible with more complex optimizers like MinNLC or MinLM) * rep.nonc0suspected * rep.nonc1suspected === ADDITIONAL REPORTS/LOGS ============================================== Several different tests are performed to catch C0/C1 errors, you can find out specific test signaled error by looking to: * rep.nonc0test0positive, for non-C0 test #0 * rep.nonc1test0positive, for non-C1 test #0 * rep.nonc1test1positive, for non-C1 test #1 Additional information (including line search logs) can be obtained by means of: * minlbfgsoptguardnonc1test0results() * minlbfgsoptguardnonc1test1results() which return detailed error reports, specific points where discontinuities were found, and so on. ========================================================================== INPUT PARAMETERS: state - algorithm state OUTPUT PARAMETERS: rep - generic OptGuard report; more detailed reports can be retrieved with other functions.

If difference is too large, an error flag is set and optimization session continues. After optimization session is over, you can retrieve the report which stores both gradients and specific components highlighted as suspicious by the OptGuard. The primary OptGuard report can be retrieved with minbleicoptguardresults(). IMPORTANT: gradient check is a high-overhead option which will cost you about 3*N additional function evaluations. In many cases it may cost as much as the rest of the optimization session. YOU SHOULD NOT USE IT IN THE PRODUCTION CODE UNLESS YOU WANT TO CHECK DERIVATIVES PROVIDED BY SOME THIRD PARTY. NOTE: unlike previous incarnation of the gradient checking code, OptGuard does NOT interrupt optimization even if it discovers bad gradient.

Smoothness monitor silently observes solution process and tries to detect ill-posed problems, i.e. ones with: a) discontinuous target function (non-C0) b) nonsmooth target function (non-C1) Smoothness monitoring does NOT interrupt optimization even if it suspects that your problem is nonsmooth. It just sets corresponding flags in the OptGuard report which can be retrieved after optimization is over. Smoothness monitoring is a moderate overhead option which often adds less than 1% to the optimizer running time. Thus, you can use it even for large scale problems. NOTE: OptGuard does NOT guarantee that it will always detect C0/C1 continuity violations. First, minor errors are hard to catch - say, a 0.0001 difference in the model values at two sides of the gap may be due to discontinuity of the model - or simply because the model has changed. Second, C1-violations are especially difficult to detect in a noninvasive way. The optimizer usually performs very short steps near the nonsmoothness, and differentiation usually introduces a lot of numerical noise. It is hard to tell whether some tiny discontinuity in the slope is due to real nonsmoothness or just due to numerical noise alone. Our top priority was to avoid false positives, so in some rare cases minor errors may went unnoticed (however, in most cases they can be spotted with restart from different initial point). INPUT PARAMETERS: state - algorithm state level - monitoring level: * 0 - monitoring is disabled * 1 - noninvasive low-overhead monitoring; function values and/or gradients are recorded, but OptGuard does not try to perform additional evaluations in order to get more information about suspicious locations. === EXPLANATION ========================================================== One major source of headache during optimization is the possibility of the coding errors in the target function/constraints (or their gradients). Such errors most often manifest themselves as discontinuity or nonsmoothness of the target/constraints. Another frequent situation is when you try to optimize something involving lots of min() and max() operations, i.e. nonsmooth target. Although not a coding error, it is nonsmoothness anyway - and smooth optimizers usually stop right after encountering nonsmoothness, well before reaching solution. OptGuard integrity checker helps you to catch such situations: it monitors function values/gradients being passed to the optimizer and tries to errors. Upon discovering suspicious pair of points it raises appropriate flag (and allows you to continue optimization). When optimization is done, you can study OptGuard result. -- ALGLIB -- Copyright 21.11.2018 by Bochkanov Sergey *************************************************************************/ void minbleicoptguardsmoothness(const minbleicstate &state, const ae_int_t level, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); void minbleicoptguardsmoothness(const minbleicstate &state, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); /************************************************************************* Results of OptGuard integrity check, should be called after optimization session is over. === PRIMARY REPORT ======================================================= OptGuard performs several checks which are intended to catch common errors in the implementation of nonlinear function/gradient: * incorrect analytic gradient * discontinuous (non-C0) target functions (constraints) * nonsmooth (non-C1) target functions (constraints) Each of these checks is activated with appropriate function: * minbleicoptguardgradient() for gradient verification * minbleicoptguardsmoothness() for C0/C1 checks Following flags are set when these errors are suspected: * rep.badgradsuspected, and additionally: * rep.badgradvidx for specific variable (gradient element) suspected * rep.badgradxbase, a point where gradient is tested * rep.badgraduser, user-provided gradient (stored as 2D matrix with single row in order to make report structure compatible with more complex optimizers like MinNLC or MinLM) * rep.badgradnum, reference gradient obtained via numerical differentiation (stored as 2D matrix with single row in order to make report structure compatible with more complex optimizers like MinNLC or MinLM) * rep.nonc0suspected * rep.nonc1suspected === ADDITIONAL REPORTS/LOGS ============================================== Several different tests are performed to catch C0/C1 errors, you can find out specific test signaled error by looking to: * rep.nonc0test0positive, for non-C0 test #0 * rep.nonc1test0positive, for non-C1 test #0 * rep.nonc1test1positive, for non-C1 test #1 Additional information (including line search logs) can be obtained by means of: * minbleicoptguardnonc1test0results() * minbleicoptguardnonc1test1results() which return detailed error reports, specific points where discontinuities were found, and so on. ========================================================================== INPUT PARAMETERS: state - algorithm state OUTPUT PARAMETERS: rep - generic OptGuard report; more detailed reports can be retrieved with other functions.

IMPORTANT: internally this solver performs large and sparse (N+M)x(N+M) triangular factorization. So it expects both quadratic term and constraints to be highly sparse. However, its running time is influenced by BOTH fill factor and sparsity pattern. Generally we expect that no more than few nonzero elements per row are present.

Say, it is possible to solve "min{-x^2} subject to -1<=x<=+1". In convex/semidefinite case global minimum is returned, in nonconvex case - algorithm returns one of the local minimums. ALGORITHM OUTLINE: * algorithm performs two kinds of iterations: constrained CG iterations and constrained Newton iterations * initially it performs small number of constrained CG iterations, which can efficiently activate/deactivate multiple constraints * after CG phase algorithm tries to calculate Cholesky decomposition and to perform several constrained Newton steps. If Cholesky decomposition failed (matrix is indefinite even under constraints), we perform more CG iterations until we converge to such set of constraints that system matrix becomes positive definite. Constrained Newton steps greatly increase convergence speed and precision. * algorithm interleaves CG and Newton iterations which allows to handle indefinite matrices (CG phase) and quickly converge after final set of constraints is found (Newton phase). Combination of CG and Newton phases is called "outer iteration". * it is possible to turn off Newton phase (beneficial for semidefinite problems - Cholesky decomposition will fail too often) ALGORITHM LIMITATIONS: * algorithm does not support general linear constraints; only box ones are supported * Cholesky decomposition for sparse problems is performed with Skyline Cholesky solver, which is intended for low-profile matrices. No profile- reducing reordering of variables is performed in this version of ALGLIB. * problems with near-zero negative eigenvalues (or exacty zero ones) may experience about 2-3x performance penalty. The reason is that Cholesky decomposition can not be performed until we identify directions of zero and negative curvature and activate corresponding boundary constraints - but we need a lot of trial and errors because these directions are hard to notice in the matrix spectrum. In this case you may turn off Newton phase of algorithm. Large negative eigenvalues are not an issue, so highly non-convex problems can be solved very efficiently.

UseNewton- use Newton phase or not: * Newton phase improves performance of positive definite dense problems (about 2 times improvement can be observed) * can result in some performance penalty on semidefinite or slightly negative definite problems - each Newton phase will bring no improvement (Cholesky failure), but still will require computational time. * if you doubt, you can turn off this phase - optimizer will retain its most of its high speed.

Say, constraint like x^2>=1 is supported, but x^2>=0 is NOT supported. USAGE: Constrained optimization if far more complex than the unconstrained one. Nonlinearly constrained optimization is one of the most esoteric numerical procedures. Here we give very brief outline of the MinNLC optimizer. We strongly recommend you to study examples in the ALGLIB Reference Manual and to read ALGLIB User Guide on optimization, which is available at http://www.alglib.net/optimization/ 1. User initializes algorithm state with MinNLCCreate() call and chooses what NLC solver to use. There is some solver which is used by default, with default settings, but you should NOT rely on default choice. It may change in future releases of ALGLIB without notice, and no one can guarantee that new solver will be able to solve your problem with default settings. From the other side, if you choose solver explicitly, you can be pretty sure that it will work with new ALGLIB releases. In the current release following solvers can be used: * SQP solver, recommended for medium-scale problems (less than thousand of variables) with hard-to-evaluate target functions. Requires less function evaluations than other solvers but each step involves solution of QP subproblem, so running time may be higher than that of AUL (another recommended option). Activated with minnlcsetalgosqp() function. * AUL solver with dense preconditioner, recommended for large-scale problems or for problems with cheap target function. Needs more function evaluations that SQP (about 5x-10x times more), but its iterations are much cheaper that that of SQP. Activated with minnlcsetalgoaul() function. * SLP solver, successive linear programming. The slowest one, requires more target function evaluations that SQP and AUL. However, it is somewhat more robust in tricky cases, so it can be used as a backup plan. Activated with minnlcsetalgoslp() function. 2. [optional] user activates OptGuard integrity checker which tries to detect possible errors in the user-supplied callbacks: * discontinuity/nonsmoothness of the target/nonlinear constraints * errors in the analytic gradient provided by user This feature is essential for early prototyping stages because it helps to catch common coding and problem statement errors. OptGuard can be activated with following functions (one per each check performed): * minnlcoptguardsmoothness() * minnlcoptguardgradient() 3. User adds boundary and/or linear and/or nonlinear constraints by means of calling one of the following functions: a) minnlcsetbc() for boundary constraints b) minnlcsetlc() for linear constraints c) minnlcsetnlc() for nonlinear constraints You may combine (a), (b) and (c) in one optimization problem. 4. User sets scale of the variables with minnlcsetscale() function. It is VERY important to set scale of the variables, because nonlinearly constrained problems are hard to solve when variables are badly scaled. 5. User sets stopping conditions with minnlcsetcond(). If NLC solver uses inner/outer iteration layout, this function sets stopping conditions for INNER iterations. 6. Finally, user calls minnlcoptimize() function which takes algorithm state and pointer (delegate, etc.) to callback function which calculates F/G/H. 7. User calls minnlcresults() to get solution; additionally you can retrieve OptGuard report with minnlcoptguardresults(), and get detailed report about purported errors in the target function with: * minnlcoptguardnonc1test0results() * minnlcoptguardnonc1test1results() 8. Optionally user may call minnlcrestartfrom() to solve another problem with same N but another starting point. minnlcrestartfrom() allows to reuse already initialized structure.

This function will work for any N - either small (1...10), moderate (10...100) or large (100...). However, performance penalty will be too severe for any N's except for small ones. We should also say that code which relies on numerical differentiation is less robust and precise. Imprecise gradient may slow down convergence, especially on highly nonlinear problems.

This algorithm is a slight modification of one described in "A Modified Barrier-Augmented Lagrangian Method for Constrained Minimization (1999)" by D.GOLDFARB, R.POLYAK, K. SCHEINBERG, I.YUZEFOVICH. AUL solver can be significantly faster than SQP on easy problems due to cheaper iterations, although it needs more function evaluations. Augmented Lagrangian algorithm works by converting problem of minimizing F(x) subject to equality/inequality constraints to unconstrained problem of the form min[ f(x) + + Rho*PENALTY_EQ(x) + SHIFT_EQ(x,Nu1) + + Rho*PENALTY_INEQ(x) + SHIFT_INEQ(x,Nu2) ] where: * Rho is a fixed penalization coefficient * PENALTY_EQ(x) is a penalty term, which is used to APPROXIMATELY enforce equality constraints * SHIFT_EQ(x) is a special "shift" term which is used to "fine-tune" equality constraints, greatly increasing precision * PENALTY_INEQ(x) is a penalty term which is used to approximately enforce inequality constraints * SHIFT_INEQ(x) is a special "shift" term which is used to "fine-tune" inequality constraints, greatly increasing precision * Nu1/Nu2 are vectors of Lagrange coefficients which are fine-tuned during outer iterations of algorithm This version of AUL algorithm uses preconditioner, which greatly accelerates convergence. Because this algorithm is similar to penalty methods, it may perform steps into infeasible area. All kinds of constraints (boundary, linear and nonlinear ones) may be violated in intermediate points - and in the solution. However, properly configured AUL method is significantly better at handling constraints than barrier and/or penalty methods. The very basic outline of algorithm is given below: 1) first outer iteration is performed with "default" values of Lagrange multipliers Nu1/Nu2. Solution quality is low (candidate point can be too far away from true solution; large violation of constraints is possible) and is comparable with that of penalty methods. 2) subsequent outer iterations refine Lagrange multipliers and improve quality of the solution. INPUT PARAMETERS: State - structure which stores algorithm state Rho - penalty coefficient, Rho>0: * large enough that algorithm converges with desired precision. Minimum value is 10*max(S'*diag(H)*S), where S is a scale matrix (set by MinNLCSetScale) and H is a Hessian of the function being minimized. If you can not easily estimate Hessian norm, see our recommendations below. * not TOO large to prevent ill-conditioning * for unit-scale problems (variables and Hessian have unit magnitude), Rho=100 or Rho=1000 can be used. * it is important to note that Rho is internally multiplied by scaling matrix, i.e. optimum value of Rho depends on scale of variables specified by MinNLCSetScale(). ItsCnt - number of outer iterations: * ItsCnt=0 means that small number of outer iterations is automatically chosen (10 iterations in current version). * ItsCnt=1 means that AUL algorithm performs just as usual barrier method. * ItsCnt>1 means that AUL algorithm performs specified number of outer iterations HOW TO CHOOSE PARAMETERS Nonlinear optimization is a tricky area and Augmented Lagrangian algorithm is sometimes hard to tune. Good values of Rho and ItsCnt are problem- specific. In order to help you we prepared following set of recommendations: * for unit-scale problems (variables and Hessian have unit magnitude), Rho=100 or Rho=1000 can be used. * start from some small value of Rho and solve problem with just one outer iteration (ItcCnt=1). In this case algorithm behaves like penalty method. Increase Rho in 2x or 10x steps until you see that one outer iteration returns point which is "rough approximation to solution". It is very important to have Rho so large that penalty term becomes constraining i.e. modified function becomes highly convex in constrained directions. From the other side, too large Rho may prevent you from converging to the solution. You can diagnose it by studying number of inner iterations performed by algorithm: too few (5-10 on 1000-dimensional problem) or too many (orders of magnitude more than dimensionality) usually means that Rho is too large. * with just one outer iteration you usually have low-quality solution. Some constraints can be violated with very large margin, while other ones (which are NOT violated in the true solution) can push final point too far in the inner area of the feasible set. For example, if you have constraint x0>=0 and true solution x0=1, then merely a presence of "x0>=0" will introduce a bias towards larger values of x0. Say, algorithm may stop at x0=1.5 instead of 1.0. * after you found good Rho, you may increase number of outer iterations. ItsCnt=10 is a good value. Subsequent outer iteration will refine values of Lagrange multipliers. Constraints which were violated will be enforced, inactive constraints will be dropped (corresponding multipliers will be decreased). Ideally, you should see 10-1000x improvement in constraint handling (constraint violation is reduced). * if you see that algorithm converges to vicinity of solution, but additional outer iterations do not refine solution, it may mean that algorithm is unstable - it wanders around true solution, but can not approach it. Sometimes algorithm may be stabilized by increasing Rho one more time, making it 5x or 10x larger. SCALING OF CONSTRAINTS [IMPORTANT] AUL optimizer scales variables according to scale specified by MinNLCSetScale() function, so it can handle problems with badly scaled variables (as long as we KNOW their scales). However, because function being optimized is a mix of original function and constraint-dependent penalty functions, it is important to rescale both variables AND constraints. Say, if you minimize f(x)=x^2 subject to 1000000*x>=0, then you have constraint whose scale is different from that of target function (another example is 0.000001*x>=0). It is also possible to have constraints whose scales are misaligned: 1000000*x0>=0, 0.000001*x1<=0. Inappropriate scaling may ruin convergence because minimizing x^2 subject to x>=0 is NOT same as minimizing it subject to 1000000*x>=0. Because we know coefficients of boundary/linear constraints, we can automatically rescale and normalize them. However, there is no way to automatically rescale nonlinear constraints Gi(x) and Hi(x) - they are black boxes. It means that YOU are the one who is responsible for correct scaling of nonlinear constraints Gi(x) and Hi(x). We recommend you to rescale nonlinear constraints in such way that I-th component of dG/dX (or dH/dx) has magnitude approximately equal to 1/S[i] (where S is a scale set by MinNLCSetScale() function). WHAT IF IT DOES NOT CONVERGE? It is possible that AUL algorithm fails to converge to precise values of Lagrange multipliers. It stops somewhere around true solution, but candidate point is still too far from solution, and some constraints are violated. Such kind of failure is specific for Lagrangian algorithms - technically, they stop at some point, but this point is not constrained solution. There are exist several reasons why algorithm may fail to converge: a) too loose stopping criteria for inner iteration b) degenerate, redundant constraints c) target function has unconstrained extremum exactly at the boundary of some constraint d) numerical noise in the target function In all these cases algorithm is unstable - each outer iteration results in large and almost random step which improves handling of some constraints, but violates other ones (ideally outer iterations should form a sequence of progressively decreasing steps towards solution). First reason possible is that too loose stopping criteria for inner iteration were specified. Augmented Lagrangian algorithm solves a sequence of intermediate problems, and requries each of them to be solved with high precision. Insufficient precision results in incorrect update of Lagrange multipliers. Another reason is that you may have specified degenerate constraints: say, some constraint was repeated twice. In most cases AUL algorithm gracefully handles such situations, but sometimes it may spend too much time figuring out subtle degeneracies in constraint matrix. Third reason is tricky and hard to diagnose. Consider situation when you minimize f=x^2 subject to constraint x>=0. Unconstrained extremum is located exactly at the boundary of constrained area. In this case algorithm will tend to oscillate between negative and positive x. Each time it stops at x<0 it "reinforces" constraint x>=0, and each time it is bounced to x>0 it "relaxes" constraint (and is attracted to x<0). Such situation sometimes happens in problems with hidden symetries. Algorithm is got caught in a loop with Lagrange multipliers being continuously increased/decreased. Luckily, such loop forms after at least three iterations, so this problem can be solved by DECREASING number of outer iterations down to 1-2 and increasing penalty coefficient Rho as much as possible. Final reason is numerical noise. AUL algorithm is robust against moderate noise (more robust than, say, active set methods), but large noise may destabilize algorithm. -- ALGLIB -- Copyright 06.06.2014 by Bochkanov Sergey *************************************************************************/ void minnlcsetalgoaul(const minnlcstate &state, const double rho, const ae_int_t itscnt, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); /************************************************************************* This function tells MinNLC optimizer to use SLP (Successive Linear Programming) algorithm for nonlinearly constrained optimization.

If difference is too large, an error flag is set and optimization session continues. After optimization session is over, you can retrieve the report which stores both gradients/Jacobians, and specific components highlighted as suspicious by the OptGuard. The primary OptGuard report can be retrieved with minnlcoptguardresults(). IMPORTANT: gradient check is a high-overhead option which will cost you about 3*N additional function evaluations. In many cases it may cost as much as the rest of the optimization session. YOU SHOULD NOT USE IT IN THE PRODUCTION CODE UNLESS YOU WANT TO CHECK DERIVATIVES PROVIDED BY SOME THIRD PARTY. NOTE: unlike previous incarnation of the gradient checking code, OptGuard does NOT interrupt optimization even if it discovers bad gradient.

Value which is too large (so large that function behavior is non- cubic at this scale) will lead to false alarms. Too short step will result in rounding errors dominating numerical derivative. You may use different step for different parameters by means of setting scale with minnlcsetscale(). === EXPLANATION ========================================================== In order to verify gradient algorithm performs following steps: * two trial steps are made to X[i]-TestStep*S[i] and X[i]+TestStep*S[i], where X[i] is i-th component of the initial point and S[i] is a scale of i-th parameter * F(X) is evaluated at these trial points * we perform one more evaluation in the middle point of the interval * we build cubic model using function values and derivatives at trial points and we compare its prediction with actual value in the middle point -- ALGLIB -- Copyright 15.06.2014 by Bochkanov Sergey *************************************************************************/ void minnlcoptguardgradient(const minnlcstate &state, const double teststep, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); /************************************************************************* This function activates/deactivates nonsmoothness monitoring option of the OptGuard integrity checker. Smoothness monitor silently observes solution process and tries to detect ill-posed problems, i.e. ones with: a) discontinuous target function (non-C0) and/or constraints b) nonsmooth target function (non-C1) and/or constraints Smoothness monitoring does NOT interrupt optimization even if it suspects that your problem is nonsmooth. It just sets corresponding flags in the OptGuard report which can be retrieved after optimization is over. Smoothness monitoring is a moderate overhead option which often adds less than 1% to the optimizer running time. Thus, you can use it even for large scale problems. NOTE: OptGuard does NOT guarantee that it will always detect C0/C1 continuity violations. First, minor errors are hard to catch - say, a 0.0001 difference in the model values at two sides of the gap may be due to discontinuity of the model - or simply because the model has changed. Second, C1-violations are especially difficult to detect in a noninvasive way. The optimizer usually performs very short steps near the nonsmoothness, and differentiation usually introduces a lot of numerical noise. It is hard to tell whether some tiny discontinuity in the slope is due to real nonsmoothness or just due to numerical noise alone. Our top priority was to avoid false positives, so in some rare cases minor errors may went unnoticed (however, in most cases they can be spotted with restart from different initial point). INPUT PARAMETERS: state - algorithm state level - monitoring level: * 0 - monitoring is disabled * 1 - noninvasive low-overhead monitoring; function values and/or gradients are recorded, but OptGuard does not try to perform additional evaluations in order to get more information about suspicious locations. This kind of monitoring does not work well with SQP because SQP solver needs just 1-2 function evaluations per step, which is not enough for OptGuard to make any conclusions. === EXPLANATION ========================================================== One major source of headache during optimization is the possibility of the coding errors in the target function/constraints (or their gradients). Such errors most often manifest themselves as discontinuity or nonsmoothness of the target/constraints. Another frequent situation is when you try to optimize something involving lots of min() and max() operations, i.e. nonsmooth target. Although not a coding error, it is nonsmoothness anyway - and smooth optimizers usually stop right after encountering nonsmoothness, well before reaching solution. OptGuard integrity checker helps you to catch such situations: it monitors function values/gradients being passed to the optimizer and tries to errors. Upon discovering suspicious pair of points it raises appropriate flag (and allows you to continue optimization). When optimization is done, you can study OptGuard result. -- ALGLIB -- Copyright 21.11.2018 by Bochkanov Sergey *************************************************************************/ void minnlcoptguardsmoothness(const minnlcstate &state, const ae_int_t level, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); void minnlcoptguardsmoothness(const minnlcstate &state, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); /************************************************************************* Results of OptGuard integrity check, should be called after optimization session is over. === PRIMARY REPORT ======================================================= OptGuard performs several checks which are intended to catch common errors in the implementation of nonlinear function/gradient: * incorrect analytic gradient * discontinuous (non-C0) target functions (constraints) * nonsmooth (non-C1) target functions (constraints) Each of these checks is activated with appropriate function: * minnlcoptguardgradient() for gradient verification * minnlcoptguardsmoothness() for C0/C1 checks Following flags are set when these errors are suspected: * rep.badgradsuspected, and additionally: * rep.badgradfidx for specific function (Jacobian row) suspected * rep.badgradvidx for specific variable (Jacobian column) suspected * rep.badgradxbase, a point where gradient/Jacobian is tested * rep.badgraduser, user-provided gradient/Jacobian * rep.badgradnum, reference gradient/Jacobian obtained via numerical differentiation * rep.nonc0suspected, and additionally: * rep.nonc0fidx - an index of specific function violating C0 continuity * rep.nonc1suspected, and additionally * rep.nonc1fidx - an index of specific function violating C1 continuity Here function index 0 means target function, index 1 or higher denotes nonlinear constraints. === ADDITIONAL REPORTS/LOGS ============================================== Several different tests are performed to catch C0/C1 errors, you can find out specific test signaled error by looking to: * rep.nonc0test0positive, for non-C0 test #0 * rep.nonc1test0positive, for non-C1 test #0 * rep.nonc1test1positive, for non-C1 test #1 Additional information (including line search logs) can be obtained by means of: * minnlcoptguardnonc1test0results() * minnlcoptguardnonc1test1results() which return detailed error reports, specific points where discontinuities were found, and so on. ========================================================================== INPUT PARAMETERS: state - algorithm state OUTPUT PARAMETERS: rep - generic OptGuard report; more detailed reports can be retrieved with other functions.

You may use different step for different parameters by means of setting scale with minbcsetscale(). === EXPLANATION ========================================================== In order to verify gradient algorithm performs following steps: * two trial steps are made to X[i]-TestStep*S[i] and X[i]+TestStep*S[i], where X[i] is i-th component of the initial point and S[i] is a scale of i-th parameter * F(X) is evaluated at these trial points * we perform one more evaluation in the middle point of the interval * we build cubic model using function values and derivatives at trial points and we compare its prediction with actual value in the middle point -- ALGLIB -- Copyright 15.06.2014 by Bochkanov Sergey *************************************************************************/ void minbcoptguardgradient(const minbcstate &state, const double teststep, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); /************************************************************************* This function activates/deactivates nonsmoothness monitoring option of the OptGuard integrity checker. Smoothness monitor silently observes solution process and tries to detect ill-posed problems, i.e. ones with: a) discontinuous target function (non-C0) b) nonsmooth target function (non-C1) Smoothness monitoring does NOT interrupt optimization even if it suspects that your problem is nonsmooth. It just sets corresponding flags in the OptGuard report which can be retrieved after optimization is over. Smoothness monitoring is a moderate overhead option which often adds less than 1% to the optimizer running time. Thus, you can use it even for large scale problems. NOTE: OptGuard does NOT guarantee that it will always detect C0/C1 continuity violations. First, minor errors are hard to catch - say, a 0.0001 difference in the model values at two sides of the gap may be due to discontinuity of the model - or simply because the model has changed. Second, C1-violations are especially difficult to detect in a noninvasive way. The optimizer usually performs very short steps near the nonsmoothness, and differentiation usually introduces a lot of numerical noise. It is hard to tell whether some tiny discontinuity in the slope is due to real nonsmoothness or just due to numerical noise alone. Our top priority was to avoid false positives, so in some rare cases minor errors may went unnoticed (however, in most cases they can be spotted with restart from different initial point). INPUT PARAMETERS: state - algorithm state level - monitoring level: * 0 - monitoring is disabled * 1 - noninvasive low-overhead monitoring; function values and/or gradients are recorded, but OptGuard does not try to perform additional evaluations in order to get more information about suspicious locations. === EXPLANATION ========================================================== One major source of headache during optimization is the possibility of the coding errors in the target function/constraints (or their gradients). Such errors most often manifest themselves as discontinuity or nonsmoothness of the target/constraints. Another frequent situation is when you try to optimize something involving lots of min() and max() operations, i.e. nonsmooth target. Although not a coding error, it is nonsmoothness anyway - and smooth optimizers usually stop right after encountering nonsmoothness, well before reaching solution. OptGuard integrity checker helps you to catch such situations: it monitors function values/gradients being passed to the optimizer and tries to errors. Upon discovering suspicious pair of points it raises appropriate flag (and allows you to continue optimization). When optimization is done, you can study OptGuard result. -- ALGLIB -- Copyright 21.11.2018 by Bochkanov Sergey *************************************************************************/ void minbcoptguardsmoothness(const minbcstate &state, const ae_int_t level, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); void minbcoptguardsmoothness(const minbcstate &state, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); /************************************************************************* Results of OptGuard integrity check, should be called after optimization session is over. === PRIMARY REPORT ======================================================= OptGuard performs several checks which are intended to catch common errors in the implementation of nonlinear function/gradient: * incorrect analytic gradient * discontinuous (non-C0) target functions (constraints) * nonsmooth (non-C1) target functions (constraints) Each of these checks is activated with appropriate function: * minbcoptguardgradient() for gradient verification * minbcoptguardsmoothness() for C0/C1 checks Following flags are set when these errors are suspected: * rep.badgradsuspected, and additionally: * rep.badgradvidx for specific variable (gradient element) suspected * rep.badgradxbase, a point where gradient is tested * rep.badgraduser, user-provided gradient (stored as 2D matrix with single row in order to make report structure compatible with more complex optimizers like MinNLC or MinLM) * rep.badgradnum, reference gradient obtained via numerical differentiation (stored as 2D matrix with single row in order to make report structure compatible with more complex optimizers like MinNLC or MinLM) * rep.nonc0suspected * rep.nonc1suspected === ADDITIONAL REPORTS/LOGS ============================================== Several different tests are performed to catch C0/C1 errors, you can find out specific test signaled error by looking to: * rep.nonc0test0positive, for non-C0 test #0 * rep.nonc1test0positive, for non-C1 test #0 * rep.nonc1test1positive, for non-C1 test #1 Additional information (including line search logs) can be obtained by means of: * minbcoptguardnonc1test0results() * minbcoptguardnonc1test1results() which return detailed error reports, specific points where discontinuities were found, and so on. ========================================================================== INPUT PARAMETERS: state - algorithm state OUTPUT PARAMETERS: rep - generic OptGuard report; more detailed reports can be retrieved with other functions.

REQUIREMENTS: * starting point X0 must be feasible or not too far away from the feasible set * F(), G(), H() are continuous, locally Lipschitz and continuously (but not necessarily twice) differentiable in an open dense subset of R^N. Functions F(), G() and H() may be nonsmooth and non-convex. Informally speaking, it means that functions are composed of large differentiable "patches" with nonsmoothness having place only at the boundaries between these "patches". Most real-life nonsmooth functions satisfy these requirements. Say, anything which involves finite number of abs(), min() and max() is very likely to pass the test. Say, it is possible to optimize anything of the following: * f=abs(x0)+2*abs(x1) * f=max(x0,x1) * f=sin(max(x0,x1)+abs(x2)) * for nonlinearly constrained problems: F() must be bounded from below without nonlinear constraints (this requirement is due to the fact that, contrary to box and linear constraints, nonlinear ones require special handling). * user must provide function value and gradient for F(), H(), G() at all points where function/gradient can be calculated.

Not recommended unless you solve really small problems. See minnscreatef() for more information on this functionality. USAGE: 1. User initializes algorithm state with MinNSCreate() call and chooses what NLC solver to use. There is some solver which is used by default, with default settings, but you should NOT rely on default choice. It may change in future releases of ALGLIB without notice, and no one can guarantee that new solver will be able to solve your problem with default settings. From the other side, if you choose solver explicitly, you can be pretty sure that it will work with new ALGLIB releases. In the current release following solvers can be used: * AGS solver (activated with MinNSSetAlgoAGS() function) 2. User adds boundary and/or linear and/or nonlinear constraints by means of calling one of the following functions: a) MinNSSetBC() for boundary constraints b) MinNSSetLC() for linear constraints c) MinNSSetNLC() for nonlinear constraints You may combine (a), (b) and (c) in one optimization problem. 3. User sets scale of the variables with MinNSSetScale() function. It is VERY important to set scale of the variables, because nonlinearly constrained problems are hard to solve when variables are badly scaled. 4. User sets stopping conditions with MinNSSetCond(). 5. Finally, user calls MinNSOptimize() function which takes algorithm state and pointer (delegate, etc) to callback function which calculates F/G/H. 7. User calls MinNSResults() to get solution 8. Optionally user may call MinNSRestartFrom() to solve another problem with same N but another starting point. MinNSRestartFrom() allows to reuse already initialized structure.

This algorithm is a slight modification of one described in "An Adaptive Gradient Sampling Algorithm for Nonsmooth Optimization" by Frank E. Curtisy and Xiaocun Quez. This optimizer has following benefits and drawbacks: + robustness; it can be used with nonsmooth and nonconvex functions. + relatively easy tuning; most of the metaparameters are easy to select. - it has convergence of steepest descent, slower than CG/LBFGS. - each iteration involves evaluation of ~2N gradient values and solution of 2Nx2N quadratic programming problem, which limits applicability of algorithm by small-scale problems (up to 50-100). IMPORTANT: this algorithm has convergence guarantees, i.e. it will steadily move towards some stationary point of the function. However, "stationary point" does not always mean "solution". Nonsmooth problems often have "flat spots", i.e. areas where function do not change at all. Such "flat spots" are stationary points by definition, and algorithm may be caught here. Nonsmooth CONVEX tasks are not prone to this problem. Say, if your function has form f()=MAX(f0,f1,...), and f_i are convex, then f() is convex too and you have guaranteed convergence to solution. INPUT PARAMETERS: State - structure which stores algorithm state Radius - initial sampling radius, >=0. Internally multiplied by vector of per-variable scales specified by minnssetscale()). You should select relatively large sampling radius, roughly proportional to scaled length of the first steps of the algorithm. Something close to 0.1 in magnitude should be good for most problems. AGS solver can automatically decrease radius, so too large radius is not a problem (assuming that you won't choose so large radius that algorithm will sample function in too far away points, where gradient value is irrelevant). Too small radius won't cause algorithm to fail, but it may slow down algorithm (it may have to perform too short steps). Penalty - penalty coefficient for nonlinear constraints: * for problem with nonlinear constraints should be some problem-specific positive value, large enough that penalty term changes shape of the function. Starting from some problem-specific value penalty coefficient becomes large enough to exactly enforce nonlinear constraints; larger values do not improve precision. Increasing it too much may slow down convergence, so you should choose it carefully. * can be zero for problems WITHOUT nonlinear constraints (i.e. for unconstrained ones or ones with just box or linear constraints) * if you specify zero value for problem with at least one nonlinear constraint, algorithm will terminate with error code -1. ALGORITHM OUTLINE The very basic outline of unconstrained AGS algorithm is given below: 0. If sampling radius is below EpsX or we performed more then MaxIts iterations - STOP. 1. sample O(N) gradient values at random locations around current point; informally speaking, this sample is an implicit piecewise linear model of the function, although algorithm formulation does not mention that explicitly 2. solve quadratic programming problem in order to find descent direction 3. if QP solver tells us that we are near solution, decrease sampling radius and move to (0) 4. perform backtracking line search 5. after moving to new point, goto (0) As for the constraints: * box constraints are handled exactly by modification of the function being minimized * linear/nonlinear constraints are handled by adding L1 penalty. Because our solver can handle nonsmoothness, we can use L1 penalty function, which is an exact one (i.e. exact solution is returned under such penalty). * penalty coefficient for linear constraints is chosen automatically; however, penalty coefficient for nonlinear constraints must be specified by user. -- ALGLIB -- Copyright 18.05.2015 by Bochkanov Sergey *************************************************************************/ void minnssetalgoags(const minnsstate &state, const double radius, const double penalty, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); /************************************************************************* This function turns on/off reporting.

After optimization session is over, you can retrieve the report which stores both gradients and specific components highlighted as suspicious by the OptGuard.

Smoothness monitor silently observes solution process and tries to detect ill-posed problems, i.e. ones with: a) discontinuous target function (non-C0) b) nonsmooth target function (non-C1) Smoothness monitoring does NOT interrupt optimization even if it suspects that your problem is nonsmooth. It just sets corresponding flags in the OptGuard report which can be retrieved after optimization is over. Smoothness monitoring is a moderate overhead option which often adds less than 1% to the optimizer running time. Thus, you can use it even for large scale problems. NOTE: OptGuard does NOT guarantee that it will always detect C0/C1 continuity violations. First, minor errors are hard to catch - say, a 0.0001 difference in the model values at two sides of the gap may be due to discontinuity of the model - or simply because the model has changed. Second, C1-violations are especially difficult to detect in a noninvasive way. The optimizer usually performs very short steps near the nonsmoothness, and differentiation usually introduces a lot of numerical noise. It is hard to tell whether some tiny discontinuity in the slope is due to real nonsmoothness or just due to numerical noise alone. Our top priority was to avoid false positives, so in some rare cases minor errors may went unnoticed (however, in most cases they can be spotted with restart from different initial point). INPUT PARAMETERS: state - algorithm state level - monitoring level: * 0 - monitoring is disabled * 1 - noninvasive low-overhead monitoring; function values and/or gradients are recorded, but OptGuard does not try to perform additional evaluations in order to get more information about suspicious locations. === EXPLANATION ========================================================== One major source of headache during optimization is the possibility of the coding errors in the target function/constraints (or their gradients). Such errors most often manifest themselves as discontinuity or nonsmoothness of the target/constraints. Another frequent situation is when you try to optimize something involving lots of min() and max() operations, i.e. nonsmooth target. Although not a coding error, it is nonsmoothness anyway - and smooth optimizers usually stop right after encountering nonsmoothness, well before reaching solution. OptGuard integrity checker helps you to catch such situations: it monitors function values/gradients being passed to the optimizer and tries to errors. Upon discovering suspicious pair of points it raises appropriate flag (and allows you to continue optimization). When optimization is done, you can study OptGuard result. -- ALGLIB -- Copyright 21.11.2018 by Bochkanov Sergey *************************************************************************/ void mincgoptguardsmoothness(const mincgstate &state, const ae_int_t level, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); void mincgoptguardsmoothness(const mincgstate &state, const xparams _xparams = alglib::xdefault); /************************************************************************* Results of OptGuard integrity check, should be called after optimization session is over. === PRIMARY REPORT ======================================================= OptGuard performs several checks which are intended to catch common errors in the implementation of nonlinear function/gradient: * incorrect analytic gradient * discontinuous (non-C0) target functions (constraints) * nonsmooth (non-C1) target functions (constraints) Each of these checks is activated with appropriate function: * mincgoptguardgradient() for gradient verification * mincgoptguardsmoothness() for C0/C1 checks Following flags are set when these errors are suspected: * rep.badgradsuspected, and additionally: * rep.badgradvidx for specific variable (gradient element) suspected * rep.badgradxbase, a point where gradient is tested * rep.badgraduser, user-provided gradient (stored as 2D matrix with single row in order to make report structure compatible with more complex optimizers like MinNLC or MinLM) * rep.badgradnum, reference gradient obtained via numerical differentiation (stored as 2D matrix with single row in order to make report structure compatible with more complex optimizers like MinNLC or MinLM) * rep.nonc0suspected * rep.nonc1suspected === ADDITIONAL REPORTS/LOGS ============================================== Several different tests are performed to catch C0/C1 errors, you can find out specific test signaled error by looking to: * rep.nonc0test0positive, for non-C0 test #0 * rep.nonc1test0positive, for non-C1 test #0 * rep.nonc1test1positive, for non-C1 test #1 Additional information (including line search logs) can be obtained by means of: * mincgoptguardnonc1test0results() * mincgoptguardnonc1test1results() which return detailed error reports, specific points where discontinuities were found, and so on. ========================================================================== INPUT PARAMETERS: state - algorithm state OUTPUT PARAMETERS: rep - generic OptGuard report; more detailed reports can be retrieved with other functions.
