Member Function Documentation

virtual bool hitfit::Constraint_Calculator::eval	(	const Column_Vector &	x,
		const Column_Vector &	y,
		Row_Vector &	F,
		Matrix &	Bx,
		Matrix &	By
	)

pure virtual

Evaluate constraints at the point described by x and y (well-measured and poorly-measured variables, respectively). The results should be stored in F. Bx and By should be set to the gradients of F with respect to x and y, respectively.

Parameters

x	Column_Vector of well-measured variables.
y	Column_Vector of poorly-measured variables.
F	Row_Vector contains the results of the constraint evaluation.
Bx	Gradients of F with respect to x
By	Gradients of F with respect to y

Output:

F.
Bx.
By.

Return:: true if the point (x,y) is accepted.
false if the point (x,y) is rejected (i.e., in an unphysical region). The constraints need not be evaluated in that case.

Implemented in hitfit::Fourvec_Constraint_Calculator.

int hitfit::Constraint_Calculator::nconstraints ( ) const

Return the number of constraints.
