rustimization

A rust optimization library which includes L-BFGS-B and Conjugate Gradient algorithm.

Documentation

The simplest way to use these optimization algorithm is to use the Funcmin class.

extern crate rustimization;
use rustimization::minimizer::Funcmin;
fn test(){
    let f = |x: &Vec<f64>| { (x[0]+4.0).powf(2.0)};
    let g = |x: &Vec<f64>| {vec![2.0*(x[0]+4.0)]};
    let mut x = vec![40.0f64];
    {
        //you must create a mutable object
        let mut fmin = Funcmin::new(&mut x,&f,&g,"cg");
        fmin.minimize();
    }
    println!("{:?}",x);
}

Output

[-4.000000000000021]

here Funcmin constructor takes four parameters first one is initial estimation x second and third one is the function f and the derivative g of the function respectively and forth one is the algorithm you want to use. Currently two algorithms available "cg" and "lbfgsb" if you want more parameter tuning you can use the classes of the algorithm such as for Lbbfgsb_minimizer class

Example

let f = |x:&Vec<f64>|{ (x[0]+4.0).powf(2.0)};
    let g = |x:&Vec<f64>|{vec![2.0*(x[0]+4.0)]};
    let mut x = vec![40.0f64];
    {
        //creating lbfgsb object. here it takes three parameter
        let mut fmin = Lbfgsb::new(&mut x,&f,&g);
        //seting upper and lower bound first parameter is the index and second one is value
        fmin.set_upper_bound(0,100.0);
        fmin.set_lower_bound(0,10.0);
        //set verbosity. higher value is more verbosity. the value is -1<= to <=101
        fmin.set_verbosity(101);
        //start the algorithm
        fmin.minimize();
    }
    println!("{:?}",x);
