Detailed Description

template<typename LagrangianFunction>
class mlpack::optimization::AugLagrangian< LagrangianFunction >

The AugLagrangian class implements the Augmented Lagrangian method of optimization.

In this scheme, a penalty term is added to the Lagrangian. This method is also called the "method of multipliers".

The template class LagrangianFunction must implement the following five methods:

The number of constraints must be greater than or equal to 0, and EvaluateConstraint() should evaluate the constraint at the given index for the given coordinates. Evaluate() should provide the objective function value for the given coordinates.

Template Parameters:
LagrangianFunction Function which can be optimized by this class.

Member Typedef Documentation

template<typename LagrangianFunction>
typedef L_BFGS<AugLagrangianFunction<LagrangianFunction> > mlpack::optimization::AugLagrangian< LagrangianFunction >::L_BFGSType

Shorthand for the type of the L-BFGS optimizer we'll be using.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename LagrangianFunction>
mlpack::optimization::AugLagrangian< LagrangianFunction >::AugLagrangian ( LagrangianFunction &  function  ) 

Initialize the Augmented Lagrangian with the default L-BFGS optimizer.

We limit the number of L-BFGS iterations to 1000, rather than the unlimited default L-BFGS.

Parameters:
function The function to be optimized.
template<typename LagrangianFunction>
mlpack::optimization::AugLagrangian< LagrangianFunction >::AugLagrangian ( AugLagrangianFunction< LagrangianFunction > &  augfunc,
L_BFGSType lbfgs 
)

Initialize the Augmented Lagrangian with a custom L-BFGS optimizer.

Parameters:
function The function to be optimized. This must be a pre-created utility AugLagrangianFunction.
lbfgs The custom L-BFGS optimizer to be used. This should have already been initialized with the given AugLagrangianFunction.

bool mlpack::optimization::AugLagrangian< LagrangianFunction >::Optimize ( arma::mat &  coordinates,
const arma::vec &  initLambda,
const double  initSigma,
const size_t  maxIterations = 1000 
)

Optimize the function, giving initial estimates for the Lagrange multipliers.

The vector of Lagrange multipliers will be modified to contain the Lagrange multipliers of the final solution (if one is found).

Parameters:
coordinates Output matrix to store the optimized coordinates in.
initLambda Vector of initial Lagrange multipliers. Should have length equal to the number of constraints.
initSigma Initial penalty parameter.
maxIterations Maximum number of iterations of the Augmented Lagrangian algorithm. 0 indicates no maximum.
template<typename LagrangianFunction>
bool mlpack::optimization::AugLagrangian< LagrangianFunction >::Optimize ( arma::mat &  coordinates,
const size_t  maxIterations = 1000 
)

Optimize the function.

The value '1' is used for the initial value of each Lagrange multiplier. To set the Lagrange multipliers yourself, use the other overload of Optimize().

Parameters:
coordinates Output matrix to store the optimized coordinates in.
maxIterations Maximum number of iterations of the Augmented Lagrangian algorithm. 0 indicates no maximum.
sigma Initial penalty parameter.
