scipy.optimize.anderson

scipy.optimize.anderson(F, xin, iter=None, alpha=None, w0=0.01, M=5, verbose=False, maxiter=None, f_tol=None, f_rtol=None, x_tol=None, x_rtol=None, tol_norm=None, line_search='armijo', callback=None, **kw)

Find a root of a function, using (extended) Anderson mixing.

The Jacobian is formed by for a ‘best’ solution in the space spanned by last M vectors. As a result, only a MxM matrix inversions and MxN multiplications are required. [Ey]

Parameters :

F : function(x) -> f

Function whose root to find; should take and return an array-like object.

x0 : array-like

Initial guess for the solution

alpha : float, optional

Initial guess for the Jacobian is (-1/alpha).

M : float, optional

Number of previous vectors to retain. Defaults to 5.

w0 : float, optional

Regularization parameter for numerical stability. Compared to unity, good values of the order of 0.01.

iter : int, optional

Number of iterations to make. If omitted (default), make as many as required to meet tolerances.

verbose : bool, optional

Print status to stdout on every iteration.

maxiter : int, optional

Maximum number of iterations to make. If more are needed to meet convergence, NoConvergence is raised.

f_tol : float, optional

Absolute tolerance (in max-norm) for the residual. If omitted, default is 6e-6.

f_rtol : float, optional

Relative tolerance for the residual. If omitted, not used.

x_tol : float, optional

Absolute minimum step size, as determined from the Jacobian approximation. If the step size is smaller than this, optimization is terminated as successful. If omitted, not used.

x_rtol : float, optional

Relative minimum step size. If omitted, not used.

tol_norm : function(vector) -> scalar, optional

Norm to use in convergence check. Default is the maximum norm.

line_search : {None, ‘armijo’ (default), ‘wolfe’}, optional

Which type of a line search to use to determine the step size in the direction given by the Jacobian approximation. Defaults to ‘armijo’.

callback : function, optional

Optional callback function. It is called on every iteration as callback(x, f) where x is the current solution and f the corresponding residual.

Returns :

sol : array-like

An array (of similar array type as x0) containing the final solution.

Raises :

NoConvergence :

When a solution was not found.
