Detailed Description

Interface providing only direct first order sensitivity information.

Overview:

This interface defines a basis for the equality constriants and then only certain linear systems with this basis are solved for. This interface is useful in reduced space SQP-type and other related optimization algorithms.

Specifically, the variables are partitioned into dependent and independent sets x = [ x_dep' x_indep' ]' and Jacobians of the constraints c(x) at the point x are:

 del(c,x) = Gc' = [ del(c(con_decomp))   ] = [ GcD' ] = [ GcDD'  GcDI' ] = [ C  N ]
                  [ del(c(con_undecomp)) ]   [ GcU' ]   [ GcUD'  GcUI' ]   [ E  F ]

   where:
     C <: R^(r x r) is nonsingular
     N <: R^(r x (n-r))
     E <: R^((m-r) x r)
     F <: R^((m-r) x (n-r))

This partitions the general equality constraints c(x) into two sets; decomposed c(con_decomp) and undecomposed c(con_undecomp). It is therefore expected that sub-vectors and subspaces from space_x().sub_space(var_dep), space_x().sub_space(var_indep), space_c().sub_space(con_decomp) and space_c().sub_space(con_undecomp) can all be accessed. Other sub-vectors and sub-spaces may not be available (but the algorithm should not need access to other sub-spaces).

Free access to solves with the basis C is not given however and instead this interface computes, for the current point x, the direct sensitivity matrice D = -inv(C)*N, the auxiliary matrices Uz = F + E * D and GcU = [ GcUD; GcUI ] = [ E'; F' ], and the Newton step py = -inv(C)*c(con_decomp). In general, linear solves with the transpose with C are not possible and therefore are not avalible. A number of very specialized applications can only provide this information but this is all that is needed by many numerical optimization (and related) algorithms.

Client Usage:

The dimension of the basis matrix C is returned by r(). The ranges for the dependent and independent varaibles are returned by var_dep() and var_indep(). The ranges for the decomposed and undecomposed equality constraints are con_decomp() and con_undecomp(). Note that con_undecomp() will return an invalid range if there are no undecomposed equalities.

Note that the matrix objects returned from factory_GcU(), factory_D() and factory_Uz() can not be expected to be usable until they are passed to the calculation routines or have been intialized in some other way.

Subclass Developer's Notes:

The default implementation of this interface assumes that there are no undecomposed equality constraints (i.e. this->con_decomp().size() == this->m()).

The default implementation is to return return.get() == NULL. This is the proper implementation when m() == r().

Moreover, the returned matrix object from this->factory_GcU()->create()->get_sub_view(rng,Range1D()) must be non-null for rng == this->var_dep() or rng == this->var_indep(). This gives access to the matrices E' and F' as shown above.

Compute all of the needed quanities for direct sensitivities.

Parameters

x	[in] (dim == n()) Current value of unkowns. This vector should have been created by `this->space_x()->create_member()`.
f	[out] Value of `f(x)`. If f == NULL then this quantity is not computed.
c	[in/out] (dim == m()) Value of the equality constraints c(x). If `c == NULL` then this quantity is not computed. If c != NULL and `recalc_c == true` then this quantity is recomputed. If c != NULL and `recalc_c == false` then this quantity is not recomputed and is used in the computation of `py` if requested (i.e. `py != NULL`). If `c != NULL` this this vector should have been created by `this->space_c()->create_member()`.
recalc_c	[in] If `true` then `c` will be recomputed at `x`. If `false` then `c` will not be recomputed but will be used as stated above.
Gf	[out] (dim == n()) Gradient of `f(x)`. If `Gf == NULL` then this quantity is not computed. If `Gf!=NULL` this this vector should have been created by `this->space_x()->create_member()`.
py	[out] (dim == r()) `py = -inv(C)*c(con_decomp)`. If `py == NULL` then this quantity is not computed. If `recalc_c == false` on input then the input `c != NULL` argument may be used in the computation of `py`. If `py!=NULL` this this vector should have been created by `this->space_x()->sub_space(this->var_dep())->create_member()`.
rGf	[out] (dim == n()-r()) `rGf = Gf(var_indep()) + D'*Gf(var_dep())`, which is the reduced gradient of the objective function projected into the manifold of the decomposed equality constraints. If `rGf==NULL`, this vector is not computed. If `rGf!=NULL` then this vector should have been created by `this->space_x(this->var_indep())->create_member()`.
GcU	[out] (dim = n x (m()-r())) Auxiliary jacobian matrix `del(c(con_undecomp),x)`. If m() == r() then `GcU` should be set to `NULL` on input. If GcU == NULL then this quantitiy is not computed. If `!=NULL` this this matrix should have been created by `this->factory_GcU()->create()`.
D	[out] (dim = r() x (n()-r())) `D = -inv(C)*N`, which is the direct sensitivity of the constraints to the independent variables. If D == NULL then this quantity is not computed. If `!=NULL` this this matrix should have been created by `this->factory_D()->create()`.
Uz	[out] (dim = (m()-r()) x (n()-r())) `Uz = F + E * D`, which is the an auxiliary sensitivity matrix. If `m() == r()` then `Uz` should be set to `NULL` on input. If `Uz==NULL` then this quantity is not computed. If `!=NULL` this this matrix should have been created by `this->factory_Uz()->create()`.

virtual void NLPInterfacePack::NLPDirect::calc_semi_newton_step	(	const Vector &	x,
		VectorMutable *	c,
		bool	recalc_c,
		VectorMutable *	py
	)		const

pure virtual

Calculate an approximate newton step given the Jacobian computed for the last call to calc_point().

The idea behind this method is that with some applications it may be much cheaper to compute an approximate Newton step for the constraints given information computed during the last call to calc_point(). It is assumed that this approximate solution py will still be a descent direction for c(x). Some subclasses may have to perform an equal amount of work as calc_point(...) to perform this calculation but those are the breaks.

Parameters

x	[in] (dim == n()) current value of unkowns.
c	[out] (dim == m()) Value of the constraints c(x) If c == NULL then this quantity is not computed. If c != NULL and recalc_c == true on input then this quantity is not recomputed and is used in the computation of py if requested (i.e. py!=NULL).
recalc_c
py	[out] (size == r() on output) Approximate value of -inv(C)*c Note that py == NULL is not allowed here.

Preconditions:
