BOBYQA performs derivative-free bound-constrained optimization using an iteratively constructed quadratic approximation for the objective function.
1 2 |
x0 |
starting point for searching the optimum. |
fn |
objective function that is to be minimized. |
lower, upper |
lower and upper bound constraints. |
nl.info |
logical; shall the original NLopt info been shown. |
control |
list of options, see |
... |
additional arguments passed to the function. |
This is an algorithm derived from the BOBYQA Fortran subroutine of Powell, converted to C and modified for the NLOPT stopping criteria.
List with components:
par |
the optimal solution found so far. |
value |
the function value corresponding to |
iter |
number of (outer) iterations, see |
convergence |
integer code indicating successful completion (> 0) or a possible error number (< 0). |
message |
character string produced by NLopt and giving additional information. |
Because BOBYQA constructs a quadratic approximation of the objective, it may perform poorly for objective functions that are not twice-differentiable.
