Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename T >

de::differential_evolution< T >::differential_evolution	(	size_t	varCount,
		size_t	popSize,
		typename processors< T >::processors_ptr	processors,
		constraints_ptr	constraints,
		bool	minimize,
		termination_strategy_ptr	terminationStrategy,
		selection_strategy_ptr	selectionStrategy,
		mutation_strategy_ptr	mutationStrategy,
		de::listener_ptr	listener
	)		[inline]

constructs a differential_evolution object

Author:

adrian (12/4/2011)

Parameters:

varCount	total number of variables. It includes the variables required by the objective function but has many more elements as required by the algorithm
popSize	total number of individuals in a population
processors	number of parallel processors used during an optimization session
constraints	a vector of constraints that contains the constraints for the variables used by the objective function as well as constraints for all other variables used internally by the algorithm
minimize	will attempt to minimize the cost if true, or maximize the cost if false
terminationStrategy	a termination strategy
selectionStrategy	a selection strategy
mutationStrategy	a mutation strategy
listener	a listener

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T >

individual_ptr de::differential_evolution< T >::best

(

)

const [inline]

returns the best individual resulted from the optimization process

Author:

adrian (12/4/2011)

Returns:

individual_ptr

template<typename T >

void de::differential_evolution< T >::run

(

)

[inline]

starts a differential evolution optimization process

although the processing is done in parallel, this function is synchronous and won't return until the optimization is complete, or an error triggered an exception
