F_objective function

General (Nonlinear) Objective Function

General objective function $f(x)$ to be optimized.

F_objective(F, n, G = NULL, H = NULL, names = NULL)

## S3 method for class 'F_objective'
terms(x, ...)

as.F_objective(x)

## S3 method for class 'F_objective'
variable.names(object, ...)

Arguments

• F: an R "function" taking a numeric vector x of length $n$ as argument.
• n: the number of objective variables.
• G: an R "function" returning the gradient at x.
• H: an optional function holding the Hessian of F.
• names: an optional character vector giving the names of x.
• x: an R object.
• ...: further arguments passed to or from other methods
• object: an R object.

Returns

an object of class "F_objective" which inherits from "objective".
