desc.optimize.Optimizer

class desc.optimize.Optimizer(method)

A helper class to wrap several optimization routines.

Offers all the scipy.optimize.least_squares routines and several of the most useful scipy.optimize.minimize routines. Also offers several custom routines specifically designed for DESC, both scalar and least squares routines with and without Jacobian/Hessian information.

Parameters:

• method (str) – name of the optimizer to use. Options can be found as desc.optimize.optimizers

• objective (ObjectiveFunction) – objective to be optimized

Methods

copy([deepcopy])	Return a (deep)copy of this object.
eq(other)	Compare equivalence between DESC objects.
load(load_from[, file_format])	Initialize from file.
optimize(eq, objective[, constraints, ftol, ...])	Optimize an objective function.
save(file_name[, file_format, file_mode])	Save the object.

Attributes

method

Name of the optimization method.
