scipy.optimize.LbfgsInvHessProduct

class scipy.optimize.LbfgsInvHessProduct(sk, yk)[source]

Linear operator for the L-BFGS approximate inverse Hessian.

This operator computes the product of a vector with the approximate inverse of the Hessian of the objective function, using the L-BFGS limited memory approximation to the inverse Hessian, accumulated during the optimization.

Objects of this class implement the scipy.sparse.linalg.LinearOperator interface.

Parameters:

sk : array_like, shape=(n_corr, n)

Array of n_corr most recent updates to the solution vector. (See [1]).

yk : array_like, shape=(n_corr, n)

Array of n_corr most recent updates to the gradient. (See [1]).
