SteepestDescentDirectionSmoothing Field

Smoothing of search direction, such that the previous direction is used partly in the current search.

Namespace:  DHIMath.Numerics
Assembly:  DHI.Mike1D.Generic (in DHI.Mike1D.Generic.dll) Version: 16.0.0.0 (11.1.1.1111)
Syntax
C#
Copy
public bool DirectionSmoothing

Field Value

Type: Boolean
Remarks
The Steepest Descent method can have a tendency to oscillate forth and back between each side of a "valley", and hence converging very slowly. The direction smoothing tries to minimize these oscillations by forcing a more smooth search direction, and will often make the SD method converge faster.
