typedefs

typedef float spc_

spc_ is real single precision

typedef double rpc_

rpc_ is the real working precision used, but may be changed to float by defining the preprocessor variable REAL_32 or (if supported) to __real128 using the variable REAL_128.

typedef int ipc_

ipc_ is the default integer word length used, but may be changed to int64_t by defining the preprocessor variable INTEGER_64.

function calls

void ugo_initialize(void **data, struct ugo_control_type* control, ipc_ *status)

Set default control values and initialize private data

Parameters:

data	holds private internal data
control	is a struct containing control information (see ugo_control_type)
status	is a scalar variable of type ipc_, that gives the exit status from the package. Possible values are (currently): 0 The initialization was successful.

void ugo_read_specfile(struct ugo_control_type* control, const char specfile[])

Read the content of a specification file, and assign values associated with given keywords to the corresponding control parameters. An in-depth discussion of specification files is available, and a detailed list of keywords with associated default values is provided in $GALAHAD/src/ugo/UGO.template. See also Table 2.1 in the Fortran documentation provided in $GALAHAD/doc/ugo.pdf for a list of how these keywords relate to the components of the control structure.

Parameters:

control	is a struct containing control information (see ugo_control_type)
specfile	is a character string containing the name of the specification file

void ugo_import(
    struct ugo_control_type* control,
    void **data,
    ipc_ *status,
    const rpc_* x_l,
    const rpc_* x_u
)

Import problem data into internal storage prior to solution.

Parameters:

control	is a struct whose members provide control paramters for the remaining prcedures (see ugo_control_type)
data	holds private internal data
status	is a scalar variable of type ipc_, that gives the exit status from the package. Possible values are: 1 The import was successful, and the package is ready for the solve phase -1 An allocation error occurred. A message indicating the offending array is written on unit control.error, and the returned allocation status and a string containing the name of the offending array are held in inform.alloc_status and inform.bad_alloc respectively. -2 A deallocation error occurred. A message indicating the offending array is written on unit control.error and the returned allocation status and a string containing the name of the offending array are held in inform.alloc_status and inform.bad_alloc respectively.
x_l	is a scalar variable of type rpc_, that holds the value \(x^l\) of the lower bound on the optimization variable \(x\).
x_u	is a scalar variable of type rpc_, that holds the value \(x^u\) of the upper bound on the optimization variable \(x\).

void ugo_reset_control(
    struct ugo_control_type* control,
    void **data,
    ipc_ *status
)

Reset control parameters after import if required.

Parameters:

control	is a struct whose members provide control paramters for the remaining prcedures (see ugo_control_type)
data	holds private internal data
status	is a scalar variable of type ipc_, that gives the exit status from the package. Possible values are: 1 The import was successful, and the package is ready for the solve phase

void ugo_solve_direct(
    void **data,
    void *userdata,
    ipc_ *status,
    rpc_* x,
    rpc_* f,
    rpc_* g,
    rpc_* h,
    ipc_(*)(rpc_, rpc_*, rpc_*, rpc_*, const void*) eval_fgh
)

Find an approximation to the global minimizer of a given univariate function with a Lipschitz gradient in an interval.

This version is for the case where all function/derivative information is available by function calls.

Parameters:

data	holds private internal data
userdata	is a structure that allows data to be passed into the function and derivative evaluation programs (see below).
status	is a scalar variable of type ipc_, that gives the entry and exit status from the package. On initial entry, status must be set to 1. Possible exit values are: 0 The run was successful -1 An allocation error occurred. A message indicating the offending array is written on unit control.error, and the returned allocation status and a string containing the name of the offending array are held in inform.alloc_status and inform.bad_alloc respectively. -2 A deallocation error occurred. A message indicating the offending array is written on unit control.error and the returned allocation status and a string containing the name of the offending array are held in inform.alloc_status and inform.bad_alloc respectively. -7 The objective function appears to be unbounded from below -18 Too many iterations have been performed. This may happen if control.maxit is too small, but may also be symptomatic of a badly scaled problem. -19 The CPU time limit has been reached. This may happen if control.cpu_time_limit is too small, but may also be symptomatic of a badly scaled problem. -40 The user has forced termination of solver by removing the file named control.alive_file from unit unit control.alive_unit.
x	is a scalar variable of type rpc_, that holds the value of the approximate global minimizer \(x\) after a successful (status = 0) call.
f	is a scalar variable of type rpc_, that holds the the value of the objective function \(f(x)\) at the approximate global minimizer \(x\) after a successful (status = 0) call.
g	is a scalar variable of type rpc_, that holds the the value of the gradient of the objective function \(f^{\prime}(x)\) at the approximate global minimizer \(x\) after a successful (status = 0) call.
h	is a scalar variable of type rpc_, that holds the the value of the second derivative of the objective function \(f^{\prime\prime}(x)\) at the approximate global minimizer \(x\) after a successful (status = 0) call.
eval_fgh	is a user-provided function that must have the following signature: ipc_ eval_fgh( rpc_ x, rpc_ *f, rpc_ *g, rpc_ *h, const void *userdata) The value of the objective function \(f(x)\) and its first derivative \(f^{\prime}(x)\) evaluated at x= \(x\) must be assigned to f and g respectively, and the function return value set to 0. In addition, if control.second_derivatives_available has been set to true, when calling ugo_import, the user must also assign the value of the second derivative \(f^{\prime\prime}(x)\) in h; it need not be assigned otherwise. If the evaluation is impossible at x, return should be set to a nonzero value.

void ugo_solve_reverse(
    void **data,
    ipc_ *status,
    ipc_ *eval_status,
    rpc_* x,
    rpc_* f,
    rpc_* g,
    rpc_* h
)

Find an approximation to the global minimizer of a given univariate function with a Lipschitz gradient in an interval.

This version is for the case where function/derivative information is only available by returning to the calling procedure.

Parameters:

data	holds private internal data
status	is a scalar variable of type ipc_, that gives the entry and exit status from the package. On initial entry, status must be set to 1. Possible exit values are: 0 The run was successful -1 An allocation error occurred. A message indicating the offending array is written on unit control.error, and the returned allocation status and a string containing the name of the offending array are held in inform.alloc_status and inform.bad_alloc respectively. -2 A deallocation error occurred. A message indicating the offending array is written on unit control.error and the returned allocation status and a string containing the name of the offending array are held in inform.alloc_status and inform.bad_alloc respectively. -7 The objective function appears to be unbounded from below -18 Too many iterations have been performed. This may happen if control.maxit is too small, but may also be symptomatic of a badly scaled problem. -19 The CPU time limit has been reached. This may happen if control.cpu_time_limit is too small, but may also be symptomatic of a badly scaled problem. -40 The user has forced termination of solver by removing the file named control.alive_file from unit unit control.alive_unit. 3 The user should compute the objective function value \(f(x)\) and its first derivative \(f^{\prime}(x)\), and then re-enter the function. The required values should be set in f and g respectively, and eval_status (below) should be set to 0. If the user is unable to evaluate \(f(x)\) or \(f^{\prime}(x)\) - for instance, if the function or its first derivative are undefined at x - the user need not set f or g, but should then set eval_status to a non-zero value. This value can only occur when control.second_derivatives_available = false. 4 The user should compute the objective function value \(f(x)\) and its first two derivatives \(f^{\prime}(x)\) and \(f^{\prime\prime}(x)\) at x= \(x\), and then re-enter the function. The required values should be set in f, g and h respectively, and eval_status (below) should be set to 0. If the user is unable to evaluate \(f(x)\), \(f^{\prime}(x)\) or \(f^{\prime\prime}(x)\) - for instance, if the function or its derivatives are undefined at x - the user need not set f, g or h, but should then set eval_status to a non-zero value. This value can only occur when control.second_derivatives_available = true.
eval_status	is a scalar variable of type ipc_, that is used to indicate if objective function and its derivatives can be provided (see above).
x	is a scalar variable of type rpc_, that holds the next value of \(x\) at which the user is required to evaluate the objective (and its derivatives) when status > 0, or the value of the approximate global minimizer when status = 0
f	is a scalar variable of type rpc_, that must be set by the user to hold the value of \(f(x)\) if required by status > 0 (see above), and will return the value of the approximate global minimum when status = 0
g	is a scalar variable of type rpc_, that must be set by the user to hold the value of \(f^{\prime}(x)\) if required by status > 0 (see above), and will return the value of the first derivative of \(f\) at the approximate global minimizer when status = 0
h	is a scalar variable of type rpc_, that must be set by the user to hold the value of \(f^{\prime\prime}(x)\) if required by status > 0 (see above), and will return the value of the second derivative of \(f\) at the approximate global minimizer when status = 0
