Detailed Description

Utility class for NOX::Direction::Broyden method to manage the information stored in "limited" memory.

Store up to MemoryUnit objects where is passed to reset(). Every time push() is called, a new MemoryUnit is added. If there are already MemoryUnit's, the oldest is bumped off the list. The zero-th entry is always the oldest.

Note:

In order to avoid allocating and deallocating memory, we reuse the BroydenMemoryUnit objects rather than destroying and re-constructing them. However, this detail should be transparent to users of this class.

Member Function Documentation

NOX::Direction::Broyden::BroydenMemoryUnit & NOX::Direction::Broyden::BroydenMemory::operator[] (  int  i  )

Return the ith MemoryUnit (unchecked access). The zero entry is the oldest memory. The m-1 entry is the newest entry (where m denotes the memory size).

void NOX::Direction::Broyden::BroydenMemory::push (  const NOX::Abstract::Vector &  d  )

Add new information to the memory. We need to calculate where the new udpate should be stored in #memory and update the information in #index. Let k denote the index of where the new update should be stored. If there are current m items stored in memory and m < mMax, then we set k = m. Otherwise, we set k equal to the location of the oldest update. The oldest update is deleted to make room for the new update. In both cases, #index must be updated appropriately so that the first (zero) entry points to the oldest update and the last entry points to the newest update.

void NOX::Direction::Broyden::BroydenMemory::reset (   )

Reset the memory. Sets the size of the #index vector to be zero.

void NOX::Direction::Broyden::BroydenMemory::reset (  int  m  )

Reset the memory. Sets #mMax to the value of m. Sets the size of the #memory vector to be at least mMax. Sets the capacity of the #index vector to be at least mMax. Sets the size of the #index vector to be zero.
