Repository Details

a lightweight header-only C++17 library of numerical optimization methods for nonlinear functions based on Eigen

CppOptimizationLibrary (A header-only C++17 optimization library)

Build Status

It has been now 6 years since the initial release. I did some mistakes in the previous design of this library and some features felt a bit ad-hoc. Given that C++14 is around and C++17 will become mainstream, I will take the opportunity to correct some of these mistakes and simplify things here in this v2-branch.

This branch is under development.

For the previous fully-tested version please refer to the master-branch of this repository.

Have you ever looked for a C++ function fminsearch, which is easy to use without adding tons of dependencies and without editing many setting-structs and without dependencies?

Want a full example?

    using FunctionXd = cppoptlib::function::Function<double>;

    class Rosenbrock : public FunctionXd {
      public:
        EIGEN_MAKE_ALIGNED_OPERATOR_NEW

        double operator()(const Eigen::VectorXd &x) const {
            const double t1 = (1 - x[0]);
            const double t2 = (x[1] - x[0] * x[0]);
            return   t1 * t1 + 100 * t2 * t2;
        }
    };
    int main(int argc, char const *argv[]) {
        using Solver = cppoptlib::solver::Bfgs<Rosenbrock>;

        Rosenbrock f;
        Eigen::VectorXd x(2);
        x << -1, 2;

        // Evaluate
        auto state = f.Eval(x);
        std::cout << f(x) << " = " << state.value << std::endl;
        std::cout << state.x << std::endl;
        std::cout << state.gradient << std::endl;
        if (state.hessian) {
          std::cout << *(state.hessian) << std::endl;
        }

        std::cout << cppoptlib::utils::IsGradientCorrect(f, x) << std::endl;
        std::cout << cppoptlib::utils::IsHessianCorrect(f, x) << std::endl;

        Solver solver;

        auto [solution, solver_state] = solver.Minimize(f, x);
        std::cout << "argmin " << solution.x.transpose() << std::endl;
        std::cout << "f in argmin " << solution.value << std::endl;
        std::cout << "iterations " << solver_state.num_iterations << std::endl;
        std::cout << "solver status " << solver_state.status << std::endl;
        return 0;
    }

To use another solver, simply replace BfgsSolver by another name.

Changes

  • Instead of nesting information in each class, this implementation will handle and update states of functions and solvers.
  • This will follow clang-format google-code-style and will be compliant cpplint.
  • This will drop Support for TensorFlow and Matlab (maybe Python will be an option).
