LSBlackBoxEvaluationPoint Class

class

An evaluation point associated with a black-box function.

Evaluation points are used to specify known points for a function in advance. It can be useful to warm-start the solver when the function is particularly expensive to evaluate, or if you already have a good estimate of the optimal point.

Note: This information is used by the solver to drive the solution process. You must be careful about the data you provide: if an incorrect value is given, the solver may have an unexpected behavior.

Functions

void localsolver::LSBlackBoxEvaluationPoint::addArgument(lsint value)

Adds an integer argument with the given value.

Only allowed if the associated decision variable is an integer or a boolean. Only allowed in state S_Stopped.

Parameters:value - Value of the argument.

void localsolver::LSBlackBoxEvaluationPoint::addArgument(lsdouble value)

Adds a double argument with the given value.

Only allowed if the associated decision variable is a double. Only allowed in state S_Stopped.

Parameters:value - Value of the argument.

void localsolver::LSBlackBoxEvaluationPoint::setArgument(int pos, lsint value)
