fminunc with user-supplied gradient
显示 更早的评论
Why is it that if I run fminunc with gradient supplied (return gradient in output, set 'GradObj' to 'on', etc) and print out the input variable for each call to the objective, I see the same value of the variable repeated multiple times (which seems to mean the same point is evaluated multiple times) before it changes/steps to the next point?
I would understand if it repeated multiple times, with perturbations for each variable component, to estimate the gradient, but in this case the gradient value/function is already supplied within the first call, and the values repeat exactly, not even with perturbation.
Any help with explaining this would be greatly appreciated because otherwise, on the surface, it just seems like several wasted function calls, but I have a feeling I'm missing something.
Thanks

My guess would be that you are only displaying the values to 4 decimal places precision (MATLAB's default) and that if you displayed to higher precision, you would see that there are in fact small changes in the variable values. Failing that, you need to give us some way of reproducing what you are seeing.

I agree that your question has too little detail for us to comment effectively. Please give us your exact fminunc call and your exact fminunc options setup if you'd like more informative answers.
