Powell algorithm. This code is translated and adapted from the Python version of this algorithm (as implemented in module optimize.py v0.5 of SciPy).
The default stopping criterion is based on the differences of the function value between two successive iterations. It is however possible to define a custom convergence checker that might terminate the algorithm earlier.
The internal line search optimizer is a BrentOptimizer with a convergence checker set to SimpleUnivariateValueChecker.

Constructor Detail

PowellOptimizer

public PowellOptimizer(double rel,
                       double abs,
                       ConvergenceChecker<PointValuePair> checker)

Deprecated.

This constructor allows to specify a user-defined convergence checker, in addition to the parameters that control the default convergence checking procedure.
The internal line search tolerances are set to the square-root of their corresponding value in the multivariate optimizer.

Parameters:

rel - Relative threshold.

abs - Absolute threshold.

checker - Convergence checker.

Throws:

NotStrictlyPositiveException - if abs <= 0.

NumberIsTooSmallException - if rel < 2 * Math.ulp(1d).
