DerivativeCheck of supplied Gradient

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
In matlab help, section When the Solver Fails > Provide Gradient or Jacobian there is the following script :
( A solver can reach a point x such that x is feasible, but finite differences around x always lead to an infeasible point. In this case, a solver can fail or halt prematurely. Providing a gradient allows a solver to proceed).
If a solver using finite differences to calculate the Gradient can fail, why when we check the validity of supplied Gradient with "DerivativeCheck" we compare it with the results of finite-differencing.

DerivativeCheck should only be used once before the main calculation starts. This check can be done in interior points where finite-differencing does not fail.
Best wishes
