TaoLineSearchSetObjectiveAndGradientRoutine#

Sets the objective/gradient evaluation routine for the line search

Synopsis#

#include "petsctaolinesearch.h" 
PetscErrorCode TaoLineSearchSetObjectiveAndGradientRoutine(TaoLineSearch ls, PetscErrorCode (*func)(TaoLineSearch ls, Vec x, PetscReal *f, Vec g, void *ctx), void *ctx)

Logically Collective

Input Parameters#

ls - the TaoLineSearch context
func - the objective and gradient evaluation routine
ctx - the (optional) user-defined context for private data

Calling sequence of `func`#

ls - the linesearch object
x - input vector
f - function value
g - gradient vector
ctx - (optional) user-defined context

Note#

Use this routine only if you want the line search objective and gradient evaluation routines to be different from the Tao’s objective and gradient evaluation routines.

Some algorithms (lcl, gpcg) set their own objective routine for the line search, application programmers should be wary of overriding the default objective routine.
