Analytical test case # 1

In this example, we consider a simple optimization problem to illustrate algorithms interfaces and MDOFunction.

Imports

from __future__ import division, unicode_literals

from numpy import cos, exp, ones, sin
from scipy import optimize

from gemseo.api import configure_logger
from gemseo.core.function import MDOFunction

configure_logger()

Out:

<RootLogger root (INFO)>

Define the objective function

We define the objective function \(f(x)=sin(x)-exp(x)\) using a MDOFunction defined by the sum of MDOFunction s.

f_1 = MDOFunction(sin, name="f_1", jac=cos, expr="sin(x)")
f_2 = MDOFunction(exp, name="f_2", jac=exp, expr="exp(x)")
objective = f_1 - f_2

See also

The following operators are implemented: \(+\), \(-\) and \(*\). The minus operator is also defined.

print("Objective function = ", objective)

Out:

Objective function =  f_1-f_2 = sin(x)-exp(x)

Minimize the objective function

We want to minimize this objective function over \([-2,2]\), starting from 1. We use scipy.optimize for illustration.

Note

MDOFunction objects are callable like a Python function.

x_0 = -ones(1)
opt = optimize.fmin_l_bfgs_b(objective, x_0, fprime=objective.jac, bounds=[(-0.2, 2.0)])

print("Optimum = ", opt)

Out:

Optimum =  (array([-0.2]), array([-1.01740008]), {'grad': array([0.16133582]), 'task': 'CONVERGENCE: NORM_OF_PROJECTED_GRADIENT_<=_PGTOL', 'funcalls': 1, 'nit': 0, 'warnflag': 0})

Total running time of the script: ( 0 minutes 0.004 seconds)
