Interfaces describing functional objects.
Functional objects need to implement these interfaces in order to interact with numericalMethods.
For example, an object somefunction
representing a real
function of several real variables would implement the interfaces
{@link numericalMethods.function.DoubleValued} and {@link
numericalMethods.function.DoubleArrayParametrized}. A method which
minimizes such a function would have the signature
minimize({@link
numericalMethods.function.DoubleArrayParametrized} p, {@link
numericalMethods.function.DoubleValued} v, double[] initialGuess)
.
To minimize the function represented by someFunction
,
one would invoke
minimize(someFunction, someFunction, someInitialGuess)
.
