NAG AD Library
e04dg_a1w_f (uncon_conjgrd_comp_a1w)

Note: _a1w_ denotes that first order adjoints are computed in working precision; this has the corresponding argument type nagad_a1w_w_rtype. Further implementations, for example for higher order differentiation or using the tangent linear approach, may become available at later marks of the NAG AD Library. The method of codifying AD implementations in the routine name and corresponding argument types is described in the NAG AD Library Introduction.

e04dg_a1w_f is the adjoint version of the primal routine e04dgf.

3 Description

e04dg_a1w_f is the adjoint version of the primal routine e04dgf.
e04dgf minimizes an unconstrained nonlinear function of several variables using a pre-conditioned, limited memory quasi-Newton conjugate gradient method. First derivatives (or an ‘acceptable’ finite difference approximation to them) are required. It is intended for use on large scale problems. For further information see Section 3 in the documentation for e04dgf.
