Constructor Detail

Solver

public Solver()

Deprecated.

Creates a new instance of Solver

Method Detail

setVariables

public void setVariables(java.util.Collection variables)

Deprecated.

Set the variables for the optimization problem.

Parameters:

variables - A collection of variables.

setEvaluator

public void setEvaluator(Evaluator evaluator)

Deprecated.

Set the evaluator to use in scoring the trial points. The evaluator defines the problem we are trying to optimize.

Parameters:

evaluator - The object to use in scoring the trial points.

setStopper

public void setStopper(SolveStopper aStopper)

Deprecated.

Set the object that will be used to determine when the solver should stop running.

Parameters:

aStopper - The object that will be used to determine when the solver should stop running.

solve

public void solve()

Deprecated.

Begin solving the problem. Generate trial points, score them and stop when the stopper indicates.

getScoreboard

public Scoreboard getScoreboard()

Deprecated.

Get the scoreboard that shows the present state of solving. It shows the best solution found so far and the time elapsed since solving started.

Returns:

The scoreboard that shows the present state of solving.
