Detailed Description

Interface representing either Variable, Cost or Constraint.

Variables, costs and constraints can all be fit into the same interface (Component). For example, each has a "value", which is either the actual value of the variables, the constraint value g or the cost. This representation provides one common interface ("smallest common denominator") that can be contain either individual variables/costs/constraints or a Composite of these. This pattern takes care of stacking variables, ordering Jacobians and providing bounds for the complete problem without duplicating code.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ifopt::Component::Component	(	int	num_rows,
		const std::string &	name
	)

Creates a component.

Parameters:

num_rows	The number of rows of this components.
name	The identifier for this component.

The number of rows num_rows can represent either

• number of variables in this variables set
• number of constraints in this constraint set
• 1 if this component represents a Cost.

Member Function Documentation

virtual VecBound ifopt::Component::GetBounds

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns the "bounds" of this component.

• For Variable these are the upper and lower variable bound.
• For Constraint this represents the constraint bounds.
• For Cost these done't exists (set to infinity).

Implemented in ifopt::Composite, ifopt::ExConstraint, ifopt::ExVariables, ifopt::CostTerm, and ifopt::ExComponent.

virtual Jacobian ifopt::Component::GetJacobian

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns derivatives of each row w.r.t. the variables.

• For Constraint this is a matrix with one row per constraint.
• For a Cost this is a row vector (gradient transpose).
• Not sensible for Variable.

Implemented in ifopt::Composite, ifopt::ConstraintSet, ifopt::VariableSet, and ifopt::ExComponent.

std::string ifopt::Component::GetName

(

)

const

Returns the name (id) of this component.

Definition at line 56 of file composite.cc.

int ifopt::Component::GetRows

(

)

const

Returns the number of rows of this component.

Definition at line 44 of file composite.cc.

virtual VectorXd ifopt::Component::GetValues

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns the "values" of whatever this component represents.

• For Variable this represents the actual optimization values.
• For Constraint this represents the constraint value g.
• For Cost this represents the cost value.

Implemented in ifopt::Composite, ifopt::ExConstraint, ifopt::ExVariables, ifopt::CostTerm, and ifopt::ExComponent.

void ifopt::Component::Print	(	double	tolerance,
		int &	index_start
	)		const [virtual]

Prints the relevant information (name, rows, values) of this component.

Parameters:

tolerance	When to flag constraint/bound violation.
index_start	Of this specific variables-, constraint- or cost set.

Reimplemented in ifopt::CostTerm.

Definition at line 61 of file composite.cc.

void ifopt::Component::SetRows

(

int

num_rows

)

Sets the number of rows of this component.

Attention:

This should correctly be done through constructor call, only delay this by using kSpecifyLater if you have good reason.

Definition at line 50 of file composite.cc.

virtual void ifopt::Component::SetVariables

(

const VectorXd &

x

)

[pure virtual]

Sets the optimization variables from an Eigen vector.

This is only done for Variable, where these are set from the current values of the solvers.

Implemented in ifopt::Composite, ifopt::ConstraintSet, ifopt::ExVariables, and ifopt::ExComponent.
