Minimize string value Basic Accuracy: 29.82% Submissions: 104 Points: 1 Given a string of lowercase alphabets and a number k, the task is to find the minimum value of the string after removal of ‘k' characters. Given a number n, count minimum steps to minimize it to 1 according to the following criteria: If n is divisible by 2 then we may reduce n to n/2. If n is divisible by 3 then you may reduce n to n/3. Decrement n by 1. Examples: Input: n = 10 Output: 3 Input: 6 Output: 2.

Parameters:
fun:callable

The objective function to be minimized.

where x is an 1-D array with shape (n,) and argsis a tuple of the fixed parameters needed to completelyspecify the function.

x0:ndarray, shape (n,)

Initial guess. Array of real elements of size (n,),where ‘n' is the number of independent variables.

args:tuple, optional

Extra arguments passed to the objective function and itsderivatives (fun, jac and hess functions).

method:str or callable, optional

Type of solver. Should be one of

  • ‘Nelder-Mead' (see here)
  • ‘Powell' (see here)
  • ‘CG' (see here)
  • ‘BFGS' (see here)
  • ‘Newton-CG' (see here)
  • ‘L-BFGS-B' (see here)
  • ‘TNC' (see here)
  • ‘COBYLA' (see here)
  • ‘SLSQP' (see here)
  • ‘trust-constr'(see here)
  • ‘dogleg' (see here)
  • ‘trust-ncg' (see here)
  • ‘trust-exact' (see here)
  • ‘trust-krylov' (see here)
  • custom - a callable object (added in version 0.14.0),see below for description.

If not given, chosen to be one of BFGS, L-BFGS-B, SLSQP,depending if the problem has constraints or bounds.

jac:{callable, ‘2-point', ‘3-point', ‘cs', bool}, optional

Method for computing the gradient vector. Only for CG, BFGS,Newton-CG, L-BFGS-B, TNC, SLSQP, dogleg, trust-ncg, trust-krylov,trust-exact and trust-constr. If it is a callable, it should be afunction that returns the gradient vector:

where x is an array with shape (n,) and args is a tuple withthe fixed parameters. Alternatively, the keywords{‘2-point', ‘3-point', ‘cs'} select a finitedifference scheme for numerical estimation of the gradient. Options‘3-point' and ‘cs' are available only to ‘trust-constr'.If jac is a Boolean and is True, fun is assumed to return thegradient along with the objective function. If False, the gradientwill be estimated using ‘2-point' finite difference estimation.

hess:{callable, ‘2-point', ‘3-point', ‘cs', HessianUpdateStrategy}, optional

Method for computing the Hessian matrix. Only for Newton-CG, dogleg,trust-ncg, trust-krylov, trust-exact and trust-constr. If it iscallable, it should return the Hessian matrix:

hess(x,*args)->{LinearOperator,spmatrix,array},(n,n)

where x is a (n,) ndarray and args is a tuple with the fixedparameters. LinearOperator and sparse matrix returns areallowed only for ‘trust-constr' method. Alternatively, the keywords{‘2-point', ‘3-point', ‘cs'} select a finite difference schemefor numerical estimation. Or, objects implementingHessianUpdateStrategy interface can be used to approximatethe Hessian. Available quasi-Newton methods implementingthis interface are:

Whenever the gradient is estimated via finite-differences,the Hessian cannot be estimated with options{‘2-point', ‘3-point', ‘cs'} and needs to beestimated using one of the quasi-Newton strategies.Finite-difference options {‘2-point', ‘3-point', ‘cs'} andHessianUpdateStrategy are available only for ‘trust-constr' method.

hessp:callable, optional

Hessian of objective function times an arbitrary vector p. Only forNewton-CG, trust-ncg, trust-krylov, trust-constr.Only one of hessp or hess needs to be given. If hess isprovided, then hessp will be ignored. hessp must compute theHessian times an arbitrary vector:

hessp(x,p,*args)->ndarrayshape(n,)

where x is a (n,) ndarray, p is an arbitrary vector withdimension (n,) and args is a tuple with the fixedparameters.

bounds:sequence or Bounds, optional

Bounds on variables for L-BFGS-B, TNC, SLSQP andtrust-constr methods. There are two ways to specify the bounds:

  1. Instance of Bounds class.
  2. Sequence of (min,max) pairs for each element in x. Noneis used to specify no bound.
constraints:{Constraint, dict} or List of {Constraint, dict}, optional

Constraints definition (only for COBYLA, SLSQP and trust-constr).Constraints for ‘trust-constr' are defined as a single object or alist of objects specifying constraints to the optimization problem.Available constraints are:

Constraints for COBYLA, SLSQP are defined as a list of dictionaries.Each dictionary with fields:

type :str

Constraint type: ‘eq' for equality, ‘ineq' for inequality.

fun :callable

The function defining the constraint.

jac :callable, optional

Using mac keyboard on pc in adobe premiere pro. The Jacobian of fun (only for SLSQP).

args :sequence, optional

Extra arguments to be passed to the function and Jacobian.

Equality constraint means that the constraint function result is tobe zero whereas inequality means that it is to be non-negative.Note that COBYLA only supports inequality constraints.

tol:float, optional

Tolerance for termination. For detailed control, use solver-specificoptions.

options:dict, optional

A dictionary of solver options. All methods accept the followinggeneric options:

maxiter :int

Maximum number of iterations to perform.

disp :bool

Set to True to print convergence messages.

For method-specific options, see show_options.

callback:callable, optional

Called after each iteration. For ‘trust-constr' it is a callable withthe signature:

where xk is the current parameter vector. and stateis an OptimizeResult object, with the same fieldsas the ones from the return. If callback returns Truethe algorithm execution is terminated.For all the other methods, the signature is:

callback(xk)

where xk is the current parameter vector. Rad studio 10.2 crack.

Returns:
res:OptimizeResult

The optimization result represented as a OptimizeResult object.Important attributes are: x the solution array, success aBoolean flag indicating if the optimizer exited successfully andmessage which describes the cause of the termination. SeeOptimizeResult for a description of other attributes.

Notes Download shuttle pro 1 6.

This section describes the available solvers that can be selected by the‘method' parameter. The default method is BFGS.

Unconstrained minimization

Method Nelder-Mead uses theSimplex algorithm [1], [2]. This algorithm is robust in manyapplications. However, if numerical computation of derivative can betrusted, other algorithms using the first and/or second derivativesinformation might be preferred for their better performance ingeneral.

Reduce 1/18

Method Powell is a modificationof Powell's method [3], [4] which is a conjugate directionmethod. It performs sequential one-dimensional minimizations alongeach vector of the directions set (direc field in options andinfo), which is updated at each iteration of the mainminimization loop. The function need not be differentiable, and noderivatives are taken.

Method CG uses a nonlinear conjugategradient algorithm by Polak and Ribiere, a variant of theFletcher-Reeves method described in [5] pp. 120-122. Only thefirst derivatives are used.

Method BFGS uses the quasi-Newtonmethod of Broyden, Fletcher, Goldfarb, and Shanno (BFGS) [5]pp. 136. It uses the first derivatives only. BFGS has proven goodperformance even for non-smooth optimizations. This method alsoreturns an approximation of the Hessian inverse, stored ashess_inv in the OptimizeResult object.

Method Newton-CG uses aNewton-CG algorithm [5] pp. 168 (also known as the truncatedNewton method). It uses a CG method to the compute the searchdirection. See also TNC method for a box-constrainedminimization with a similar algorithm. Suitable for large-scaleproblems.

Method dogleg uses the dog-legtrust-region algorithm [5] for unconstrained minimization. https://bestqfile898.weebly.com/samsung-phone-with-apple-computer.html. Thisalgorithm requires the gradient and Hessian; furthermore theHessian is required to be positive definite.

Method trust-ncg uses theNewton conjugate gradient trust-region algorithm [5] forunconstrained minimization. This algorithm requires the gradientand either the Hessian or a function that computes the product ofthe Hessian with a given vector. Suitable for large-scale problems.

Method trust-krylov usesthe Newton GLTR trust-region algorithm [14], [15] for unconstrainedminimization. This algorithm requires the gradientand either the Hessian or a function that computes the product ofthe Hessian with a given vector. Suitable for large-scale problems.On indefinite problems it requires usually less iterations than thetrust-ncg method and is recommended for medium and large-scale problems.

This algorithm requires the gradientand either the Hessian or a function that computes the product ofthe Hessian with a given vector. Suitable for large-scale problems.On indefinite problems it requires usually less iterations than thetrust-ncg method and is recommended for medium and large-scale problems.

Method trust-exactis a trust-region method for unconstrained minimization in whichquadratic subproblems are solved almost exactly [13]. Thisalgorithm requires the gradient and the Hessian (which isnot required to be positive definite). It is, in manysituations, the Newton method to converge in fewer iteractionand the most recommended for small and medium-size problems.

Bound-Constrained minimization

Method L-BFGS-B uses the L-BFGS-Balgorithm [6], [7] for bound constrained minimization.

Method TNC uses a truncated Newtonalgorithm [5], [8] to minimize a function with variables subjectto bounds. This algorithm uses gradient information; it is alsocalled Newton Conjugate-Gradient. It differs from the Newton-CGmethod described above as it wraps a C implementation and allowseach variable to be given upper and lower bounds.

Constrained Minimization

Method COBYLA uses theConstrained Optimization BY Linear Approximation (COBYLA) method[9], [10], [11]. The algorithm is based on linearapproximations to the objective function and each constraint. Themethod wraps a FORTRAN implementation of the algorithm. Theconstraints functions ‘fun' may return either a single numberor an array or list of numbers.

Method SLSQP uses SequentialLeast SQuares Programming to minimize a function of severalvariables with any combination of bounds, equality and inequalityconstraints. The method wraps the SLSQP Optimization subroutineoriginally implemented by Dieter Kraft [12]. Note that thewrapper handles infinite values in bounds by converting them intolarge floating values.

Method trust-constr is atrust-region algorithm for constrained optimization. It swichesbetween two implementations depending on the problem definition.It is the most versatile constrained minimization algorithmimplemented in SciPy and the most appropriate for large-scale problems.For equality constrained problems it is an implementation of Byrd-OmojokunTrust-Region SQP method described in [17] and in [5], p. 549. Wheninequality constraints are imposed as well, it swiches to the trust-regioninterior point method described in [16]. This interior point algorithm,in turn, solves inequality constraints by introducing slack variablesand solving a sequence of equality-constrained barrier problemsfor progressively smaller values of the barrier parameter.The previously described equality constrained SQP method isused to solve the subproblems with increasing levels of accuracyas the iterate gets closer to a solution.

Finite-Difference Options

For Method trust-constrthe gradient and the Hessian may be approximated usingthree finite-difference schemes: {‘2-point', ‘3-point', ‘cs'}.The scheme ‘cs' is, potentially, the most accurate but itrequires the function to correctly handles complex inputs and tobe differentiable in the complex plane. The scheme ‘3-point' is moreaccurate than ‘2-point' but requires twice as much operations.

Custom minimizers

It may be useful to pass a custom minimization method, for examplewhen using a frontend to this method such as scipy.optimize.basinhoppingor a different library. You can simply pass a callable as the methodparameter.

The callable is called as method(fun,x0,args,**kwargs,**options)where kwargs corresponds to any other parameters passed to minimize(such as callback, hess, etc.), except the options dict, which hasits contents also passed as method parameters pair by pair. Also, ifjac has been passed as a bool type, jac and fun are mangled so thatfun returns just the function values and jac is converted to a functionreturning the Jacobian. The method shall return an OptimizeResultobject.

Reduce 1 1/4

The provided method callable must be able to accept (and possibly ignore)arbitrary parameters; the set of parameters accepted by minimize mayexpand in future versions and then these parameters will be passed tothe method. You can find an example in the scipy.optimize tutorial.

Next, consider a minimization problem with several constraints (namelyExample 16.4 from [5]). The objective function is:

There are three constraints defined as:

And variables must be positive, hence the following bounds:
