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

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

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

It implements both the ROOT::Math::IBaseFunctionMultiDimTempl and ROOT::Math::IGradientMultiDimTempl interfaces. 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.

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 evaluting one at a time

virtual

Retrieve the dimension of the function.

Implements ROOT::Math::IBaseFunctionMultiDimTempl< T >.
