8.8.4. Optimisation tutorial 4

This tutorial shows the interoperability between DAE Tools and 3rd party optimization software (scipy.optimize) used to minimize the Rosenbrock function.

DAE Tools simulation is used to calculate the objective function and its gradients, while scipy.optimize.fmin function (Nelder-Mead Simplex algorithm) to find the minimum of the Rosenbrock function.

8.8.5. Optimisation tutorial 5

This tutorial shows the interoperability between DAE Tools and 3rd party optimization software (scipy.optimize) used to fit the simple function with experimental data.

DAE Tools simulation object is used to calculate the objective function and its gradients, while scipy.optimize.leastsq function (a wrapper around MINPACK’s lmdif and lmder) implementing Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to estimate the parameters.
