Static Public Member Functions inherited from sc::SavableState

static void save_state (SavableState *s, StateOut &)
static SavableState * restore_state (StateIn &si)
Restores objects saved with save_state.
static SavableState * key_restore_state (StateIn &si, const char *keyword)

static SavableState * dir_restore_state (StateIn &si, const char *objectname, const char *keyword=0)

The MCSearch KeyVal CTOR does not read any input. See the LineOpt KeyVal CTOR for parameters that it takes.

Initializes the line search object. Argument is a search direction. Use of this method assumes the Optimize base class already has a function object (got it from a keyval or elsewhere).

Reimplemented from sc::LineOpt.

Initializes the line search object. First argument is a search direction, second argument is a function object to optimize. Use this method when a function must be passed to the Optimize base class.

Reimplemented from sc::LineOpt.

Take a step. Returns 1 if the optimization has converged, otherwise 0.

Implements sc::Optimize.
