Simple Functions and Optimization¶
Solving a simple equation¶
The following example illustrates how to define a simple objective function. By deriving the objective function from OEFunc2, we can find the roots of the simple quadratic equation using OENewtonOpt optimizer. A class derived from OEFunc2 must contain analytical gradients and Hessians. This examples expects a number as input for the initial guess to solve the simple function.

The following example illustrates how to define checkpoints and use then along with optimizers to monitor progress during optimization. For simplicity, a simple quadratic equation is defined as objective function and derived from OEFunc1. The quadratic equation is solved using the OEBFGSOpt optimizer. A class derived from OEFunc1 must contain analytical gradients. This examples expects a number as input for the initial guess to solve the simple function.
Molecule Functions¶
User defined molecule function¶
The following example illustrates how to define an objective function within the context of a molecule. Generally speaking, a molecule function (OEMolFunc) defines some sort of interaction involving a part or all of a molecule. For simplicity, a simple energy function is defined that consists sum of square of distance of all the atoms in the molecule. The molecule function is optimized using the OEBFGSOpt optimizer. A class derived from OEMolFunc1 must contain analytical gradients.
