Constructor Details

Schwefel

public Schwefel()

Constructs a new instance of the Schwefel problem with two decision variables.

Schwefel

public Schwefel(int numberOfVariables)

Constructs a new instance of the Schwefel problem.

Parameters:

numberOfVariables - the number of decision variables

Method Details

evaluate

public void evaluate(Solution solution)

Description copied from interface: Problem

Evaluates the solution, updating the solution's objectives in place. Algorithms must explicitly call this method when appropriate to evaluate new solutions or reevaluate modified solutions.

Parameters:

solution - the solution to be evaluated

newSolution

public Solution newSolution()

Description copied from interface: Problem

Returns a new solution for this problem. Implementations must initialize the variables so that the valid range of values is defined, but typically leave the actual value at a default or undefined state.

Returns:

a new solution for this problem

getReferenceSet

public NondominatedPopulation getReferenceSet()

Returns the reference set, typically a single solution unless the problem has multiple local minima, for this single objective problem.

Returns:

the reference set
