Class NegativeOneDimensionalFunction

java.lang.Object
  de.jstacs.algorithms.optimization.OneDimensionalFunction
      de.jstacs.algorithms.optimization.NegativeOneDimensionalFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:

Function

public class NegativeOneDimensionalFunction
extends OneDimensionalFunction

This class extends the class OneDimensionalFunction. That class is useful when you want to find a maximum of any one-dimensional function. Just use this class and find the minimum of your new function. This minimum has the same abscissa and just a negative ordinate.
