Both of the papers are comments on Kaupe's Algorithm 178 "Direct Search" (ACM 6(6):313-314). The original algorithm was designed by Hooke and Jeeves (ACM 8:212-229). This program is further revised according to Johnson's implementation at Netlib (opt/hooke.c). Hooke-Jeeves algorithm is very simple and it works quite well on a few examples. However, it might fail to converge due to its heuristic nature. A possible improvement, as is suggested by Johnson, may be to choose a small r at the beginning to quickly approach to the minimum and a large r at later step to hit the minimum. */ #ifndef AC_MIN_HH_ #define AC_MIN_HH_ #include <stdlib.h> #include <math.h> #include <string.h> template<class TYPE, class Func> TYPE min_hj(int n, TYPE *x, Func &f, TYPE r=0.5, TYPE eps=1e-7, int max_calls=50000); template<class TYPE, class Func> static TYPE min_hj_aux(int n, TYPE *x1, Func &f, TYPE fx1, TYPE *dx, int *n_calls) { int k, j = *n_calls; TYPE ftmp; for (k = 0; k != n; ++k) { x1[k] += dx[k]; ftmp = f(n, x1); ++j; if (ftmp < fx1) fx1 = ftmp; else { // search the opposite direction dx[k] = 0.0 - dx[k]; x1[k] += dx[k] + dx[k]; ftmp = f(n, x1); ++j; if (ftmp < fx1) fx1 = ftmp; else x1[k] -= dx[k]; // back to the original x[k] } } *n_calls = j; return fx1; // here: fx1=f(n,x1) } /** Hooke-Jeeve's method for multi-variable function minimization. @param n Dimension. @param x[0..n-1] Initial value, an array of size n. @param f(n,x) Function. f(n,x) retures the function value at x. @param r Radius for initial search. @param eps Accuracy. @param max_calls Maximum allowed function calls. */ template<class TYPE, class Func> TYPE min_hj(int n, TYPE *x, Func &f, TYPE r, TYPE eps, int max_calls) { TYPE fx, fx1, *x1, *dx, radius; int k, n_calls = 0; x1 = (TYPE*)calloc(n, sizeof(TYPE)); dx = (TYPE*)calloc(n, sizeof(TYPE)); for (k = 0; k != n; ++k) { // initial directions, based on MGJ dx[k] = fabs(x[k]) * r; if (dx[k] == 0) dx[k] = r; } radius = r; fx1 = fx = f(n, x); ++n_calls; for (;;) { memcpy(x1, x, n * sizeof(TYPE)); // x1 = x fx1 = min_hj_aux(n, x1, f, fx, dx, &n_calls); while (fx1 < fx) { for (k = 0; k != n; ++k) { TYPE t = x[k]; dx[k] = x1[k] > x[k]? fabs(dx[k]) : 0.0 - fabs(dx[k]); x[k] = x1[k]; x1[k] = x1[k] + x1[k] - t; } fx = fx1; if (n_calls >= max_calls) goto END_MIN_HJ; fx1 = f(n, x1); ++n_calls; fx1 = min_hj_aux(n, x1, f, fx1, dx, &n_calls); if (fx1 >= fx) break; for (k = 0; k != n; ++k) if (fabs(x1[k] - x[k]) > .5 * fabs(dx[k])) break; if (k == n) break; } if (radius >= eps) { if (n_calls >= max_calls) goto END_MIN_HJ; radius *= r; for (k = 0; k != n; ++k) dx[k] *= r; } else break; // converge } END_MIN_HJ: free(x1); free(dx); return fx1; } #endif
