Method Detail

Compute

double Compute(int n,
               int m,
               double[] x,
               double[] con,
               boolean[] terminate)
        throws IllegalActionException

The objective and constraints function evaluation method used in COBYLA2 minimization.

Parameters:

n - Number of variables.

m - Number of constraints.

x - Variable values to be employed in function and constraints calculation.

con - Calculated function values of the constraints.

terminate - A boolean array that provides the terminate state. Only the first element of the array is read

Returns:

Calculated objective function value.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is a problem calculating the COBYLA2 minimization.
