Detailed Description

Wrapper class for the NCSU DIRECT optimization library.

The NCSUOptimizer class provides a wrapper for a Fortran 77 implementation of the DIRECT algorithm developed at North Carolina State University. It uses a function pointer approach for which passed functions must be either global functions or static member functions. Any attribute used within static member functions must be either local to that function or accessed through a static pointer.

The user input mappings are as follows:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

NCSUOptimizer

(

Model &

model

)

standard constructor

This is the standard constructor with method specification support.

NCSUOptimizer	(	Model &	model,
		const int &	max_iter,
		const int &	max_eval
	)

alternate constructor for instantiations "on the fly"

This is an alternate constructor for instantiations on the fly using a Model but no ProblemDescDB.

NCSUOptimizer	(	NoDBBaseConstructor	,
		Model &	model
	)

alternate constructor for Iterator instantiations by name

This is an alternate constructor for Iterator instantiations by name using a Model but no ProblemDescDB.

NCSUOptimizer	(	const RealVector &	var_l_bnds,
		const RealVector &	var_u_bnds,
		const int &	max_iter,
		const int &	max_eval,
		double(*)(const RealVector &x)	user_obj_eval
	)

alternate constructor for instantiations "on the fly"

This is an alternate constructor for performing an optimization using the passed in objective function pointer.
