min_style command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
min_style style :pre
|
|
|
|
style = {cg} or {cg/fr} or {sd} :ul
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
min_style cg
|
|
min_style sd :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Choose a minimization algorithm to use when a "minimize"_minimize.html
|
|
command is performed.
|
|
|
|
Style {cg} is the Polak-Ribiere (PR) version of the conjugate gradient
|
|
(CG) algorithm. At each iteration the force gradient is combined with
|
|
the previous iteration information to compute a new search direction
|
|
perpendicular (conjugate) to previous search directions. The PR
|
|
variant affects how the direction is chosen and how the CG method is
|
|
restarted when it ceases to make progress. The PR variant is thought
|
|
to be the most effective CG choice.
|
|
|
|
Style {cg/fr} is the Fletcher-Reeves version of the conjugate gradient
|
|
algorithm.
|
|
|
|
Style {sd} is a steepest descent algorithm. At each iteration, the
|
|
downhill direction corresponding to the force vector (negative
|
|
gradient of energy) is searched along by a 1d line search. Typically,
|
|
steepest descent will not converge as quickly as CG, but may be more
|
|
robust in some situations.
