Dear all, I would like to use SolverBFGS from deal.II/optimization/ in my project, and I try to follow the documentation in https://www.dealii.org/current/doxygen/deal.II/classSolverBFGS.html
First, I would like to mention that the documentation would really improve by adding a minimal example on how to use SolverBFGS. In my project, I cannot just define an independent function to be pass to SolverBFGS. Instead, I define a class ShapePolar, which needs to be initialized with some mesh parameters par, as in ShapePolar polar (par); then I have implemented the function double ShapePolar::fun (const Vector<double>, Vector<double>) that computes a scalar value of an objective function and its gradient Vector, when we pass X. Then, my attempt, after looking at the documentation, is to do something like this: Vector<double> X (N); SolverControl residual_control (N, 1e-7); //SolverBFGS::AdditionalData data (10, true); SolverBFGS<Vector<double> > opt (residual_control); //, data); ShapePolar polar (par); std::function<double(const Vector<double>, Vector<double>)> fun = polar.fun; opt.solve ( fun, X ); After several failed attempts (syntax errors), I realize that I am missing something fundamental here and could use some guidance. I would appreciate any hint on how to achieve using SolverBFGS for the setting described above. Kind regards, Juan C.
