Field Detail

output

public TypedIOPort output

Control Output.

particles

public TypedIOPort particles

Particles input that accepts an array of record tokens. One field of the record must be labeled as "weight". Other fields will be resolved to state variables.

locations

public PortParameter locations

An Array of record tokens.

covariance

public Parameter covariance

The coveariance.

speedLimit

public Parameter speedLimit

The speed limit.

rhoBeg

public Parameter rhoBeg

The beginning of rho.

rhoEnd

public Parameter rhoEnd

The end of rho.

Constructor Detail

Optimizer

public Optimizer(Workspace workspace)

Construct an Optimizer in the specified workspace with no container and an empty string as a name. You can then change the name with setName(). If the workspace argument is null, then use the default workspace.

Parameters:

workspace - The workspace that will list the actor.

Optimizer

public Optimizer(CompositeEntity container,
                 java.lang.String name)
          throws IllegalActionException,
                 NameDuplicationException

Construct the composite actor with a name and a container. This constructor creates the ports, parameters, and the icon.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name.

Throws:

NameDuplicationException - If another entity already had this name.

IllegalActionException - If there was an internal problem.

Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException

Description copied from class: NamedObj

React to a change in an attribute. This method is called by a contained attribute when its value changes. In this base class, the method does nothing. In derived classes, this method may throw an exception, indicating that the new attribute value is invalid. It is up to the caller to restore the attribute to a valid value if an exception is thrown.

Overrides:

attributeChanged in class NamedObj

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute that changed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the change is not acceptable to this container (not thrown in this base class).

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException

Description copied from class: AtomicActor

Do nothing. Derived classes override this method to define their primary run-time action.

Specified by:

fire in interface Executable

Overrides:

fire in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - Not thrown in this base class.

postfire

public boolean postfire()
                 throws IllegalActionException

Description copied from class: AtomicActor

Return true, unless stop() has been called, in which case, return false. Derived classes override this method to define operations to be performed at the end of every iteration of its execution, after one invocation of the prefire() method and any number of invocations of the fire() method. This method typically wraps up an iteration, which may involve updating local state. In derived classes, this method returns false to indicate that this actor should not be fired again.

Specified by:

postfire in interface Executable

Overrides:

postfire in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Returns:

True if execution can continue into the next iteration.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - Not thrown in this base class.
