Constructor & Destructor Documentation

  sc::Function::Function (const Ref< KeyVal > &, double funcacc = DBL_EPSILON, double gradacc = DBL_EPSILON, double hessacc = DBL_EPSILON)

The keyval constructor reads the following keywords:.

matrixkit
    Gives a SCMatrixKit object. If it is not specified, a default SCMatrixKit is selected.

value_accuracy
    Sets the accuracy to which values are computed. The default is the machine accuracy.

gradient_accuracy
    Sets the accuracy to which gradients are computed. The default is the machine accuracy.

hessian_accuracy
    Sets the accuracy to which hessians are computed. The default is the machine accuracy.

Member Function Documentation

  virtual void sc::Function::set_matrixkit (const Ref< SCMatrixKit > &) [protected, virtual]

Set the SCMatrixKit that should be used to construct the requisite vectors and matrices.

  void sc::Function::do_change_coordinates (const Ref< NonlinearTransform > &) [protected]

Change the coordinate system and apply the given transform to intermediates matrices and vectors.

  Ref<SCMatrixKit> sc::Function::matrixkit () const

Return the SCMatrixKit used to construct vectors and matrices.

  virtual void sc::Function::save_data_state (StateOut &) [virtual]

Save the base classes (with save_data_state) and the members in the same order that the StateIn CTOR initializes them.

This must be implemented by the derived class if the class has data.

Reimplemented from sc::SavableState.

Reimplemented in sc::MolecularEnergy, sc::CLKS, sc::HSOSKS, sc::UKS, sc::MBPT2, sc::MBPT2_R12, sc::PsiWavefunction, sc::PsiSCF, sc::PsiCCSD, sc::PsiCCSD_T, sc::CLHF, sc::CLSCF, sc::HSOSHF, sc::HSOSSCF, sc::SCF, sc::UHF, sc::UnrestrictedSCF, sc::OneBodyWavefunction, and sc::Wavefunction.

  int sc::Function::do_value (int)

If passed a nonzero number, compute the value the next time compute() is called.

Return a nonzero number if the value was previously to be computed.

  virtual int sc::Function::value_implemented () const [virtual]

Information about the availability of values, gradients, and hessians.

Reimplemented in sc::CLKS, sc::HSOSKS, sc::UKS, sc::MBPT2, sc::MBPT2_R12, sc::CLHF, sc::HSOSHF, sc::UHF, and sc::Shape.

  virtual Ref<NonlinearTransform> sc::Function::change_coordinates () [virtual]

An optimizer can call change coordinates periodically to give the function an opportunity to change its coordinate system.

A return value of 0 means the coordinates were not changed. Otherwise, a transform object to the new coordinate system is return. The function object applies the transform to any objects it contains. This will obsolete the function data.

Reimplemented in sc::MolecularEnergy.
