Bases: object

The standard definition of an array-based function with algebraic operations.

MDOFunction is the key class to define the objective function, the constraints and the observables of an OptimizationProblem.

A MDOFunction is initialized from an optional callable and a name, e.g. func = MDOFunction(lambda x: 2*x, "my_function").

Note

The callable can be set to None when the user does not want to use a callable but a database to browse for the output vector corresponding to an input vector (see MDOFunction.set_pt_from_database()).

The following information can also be provided at initialization:

• the type of the function, e.g. f_type="obj" if the function will be used as an objective (see MDOFunction.AVAILABLE_TYPES for the available types),

• the function computing the Jacobian matrix, e.g. jac=lambda x: array([2.]),

• the literal expression to be used for the string representation of the object, e.g. expr="2*x",

• the names of the inputs and outputs of the function, e.g. args=["x"] and outvars=["y"].

Warning

For the literal expression, do not use “f(x) = 2*x” nor “f = 2*x” but “2*x”. The other elements will be added automatically in the string representation of the function based on the name of the function and the names of its inputs.

After the initialization, all of these arguments can be overloaded with setters, e.g. MDOFunction.args.

The original function and Jacobian function can be accessed with the properties MDOFunction.func and MDOFunction.jac.

A MDOFunction is callable: output = func(array([3.])) # expected: array([6.]).

Elementary operations can be performed with MDOFunction instances: addition (func = func1 + func2 or func = func1 + offset), subtraction (func = func1 - func2 or func = func1 - offset), multiplication (func = func1 * func2 or func = func1 * factor) and opposite (func = -func1). It is also possible to build a MDOFunction as a concatenation of MDOFunction objects: func = MDOFunction.concatenate([func1, func2, func3], "my_func_123").

Moreover, a MDOFunction can be approximated with either a first-order or second-order Taylor polynomial at a given input vector, using respectively MDOFunction.linear_approximation() and quadratic_approx(); such an approximation is also a MDOFunction.

Lastly, the user can check the Jacobian function by means of approximation methods (see MDOFunction.check_grad()).
