ROOT::Math::IGradientFunctionMultiDimTempl< T > Class Template Referenceabstract

template<class T>
class ROOT::Math::IGradientFunctionMultiDimTempl< T >

Interface (abstract class) for multi-dimensional functions providing a gradient calculation.

The method ROOT::Math::IFunction::Gradient calculates the full gradient vector, ROOT::Math::IFunction::Derivative calculates the partial derivative for each coordinate and ROOT::Math::Fdf calculates the gradient and the function value at the same time. The pure private virtual method DoDerivative() must be implemented by the derived classes, while Gradient and FdF are by default implemented using DoDerivative, butthey can be overloaded by the derived classes to improve the efficiency in the derivative calculation.

Gradient interface (abstract class) defining the signature for calculating the gradient of a multi-dimensional function. Three methods are provided:

  • Gradient(const double *x, double * grad) evaluate the full gradient vector at the vector value x
  • Derivative(const double * x, int icoord) evaluate the partial derivative for the icoord coordinate
  • FdF(const double *x, double &f, double * g) evaluate at the same time gradient and function/

◆ Derivative() [1/2]

template<class T >
T ROOT::Math::IGradientFunctionMultiDimTempl< T >::Derivative ( const T * x,
unsigned int icoord,
T * previous_grad,
T * previous_g2,
T * previous_gstep ) const
inline

In some cases, the derivative algorithm will use information from the previous step, these can be passed in with this overload.

The previous_* arrays can also be used to return second derivative and step size so that these can be passed forward again as well at the call site, if necessary.

◆ Derivative() [2/2]

template<class T >
T ROOT::Math::IGradientFunctionMultiDimTempl< T >::Derivative ( const T * x,
unsigned int icoord = 0 ) const
inline

Return the partial derivative with respect to the passed coordinate.

◆ FdF()

template<class T >
virtual void ROOT::Math::IGradientFunctionMultiDimTempl< T >::FdF ( const T * x,
T & f,
T * df ) const
inlinevirtual

Optimized method to evaluate at the same time the function value and derivative at a point x.

Often both value and derivatives are needed and it is often more efficient to compute them at the same time. Derived class should implement this method if performances play an important role and if it is faster to evaluate value and derivative at the same time

◆ Gradient()

template<class T >
virtual void ROOT::Math::IGradientFunctionMultiDimTempl< T >::Gradient ( const T * x,
T * grad ) const
inlinevirtual

Evaluate all the vector of function derivatives (gradient) at a point x.

Derived classes must re-implement it if more efficient than evaluating one at a time
