TaoTermIsObjectiveAndGradientDefined#

Whether a combined objective-and-gradient operation is defined for this TaoTerm

Synopsis#

#include "petsctao.h" 
PetscErrorCode TaoTermIsObjectiveAndGradientDefined(TaoTerm term, PetscBool *is_defined)

Not collective

Input Parameter#

Output Parameter#

  • is_defined - whether the objective/gradient is defined

Note#

This function strictly checks whether a dedicated combined objective-and-gradient operation is defined. It does not check whether the objective and gradient could be computed via separate objective and gradient operations. TaoTermComputeObjectiveAndGradient() may still succeed even if this function returns PETSC_FALSE, by falling back to separate TaoTermComputeObjective() and TaoTermComputeGradient() calls.
