Method Details

__init__(self, func, dfunc, d2func, args, x0, min_options, func_tol, grad_tol, maxiter, a0, mu, eta, full_output, print_flag, print_prefix)
(Constructor)

Class for newton conjugate gradient minimisation specific functions.

Unless you know what you are doing, you should call the function 'ncg' rather than using this class.

Overrides: base_classes.Min.__init__

new_param_func(self)

The new parameter function.

Find the search direction, do a line search, and get xk+1 and fk+1.

update(self)

Function to update the function value, gradient vector, and Hessian matrix.

Overrides: base_classes.Min.update
