#include <itkLBFGS2Optimizerv4.h>
Wrap of the libLBFGS[1] algorithm for use in ITKv4 registration framework. LibLBFGS is a translation of LBFGS code by Nocedal [2] and adds the orthantwise limited-memory Quasi-Newton method [3] for optimization with L1-norm on the parameters.
LBFGS is a quasi-Newton method uses an approximate estimate of the inverse Hessian \( (\nabla^2 f(x) )^-1 \) to scale the gradient step:
\[ x_{n+1} = x_n - s (\nabla^2 f(x_n) )^-1 \nabla f(x) \]
with \( s \) the step size.
The inverse Hessian is approximated from the gradients of previous iteration and thus only the gradient of the objective function is required.
The step size \( s \) is determined through line search which defaults to the approach by More and Thuente [4]. This line search approach finds a step size such that
\[ \lVert \nabla f(x + s (\nabla^2 f(x_n) )^{-1} \nabla f(x) ) \rVert \le \nu \lVert \nabla f(x) \rVert \]
The parameter \(\nu\) is set through SetLineSearchAccuracy() (default 0.9) and SetGradientLineSearchAccuracy()
Instead of the More-Tunete method, backtracking with three different conditions [7] are available and can be set through SetLineSearch():
The optimization stops when either the gradient satisfies the condition
\[ \lVert \nabla f(x) \rVert \le \epsilon \max(1, \lVert X \rVert) \]
or a maximum number of function evaluations has been reached. The tolerance \(\epsilon\) is set through SetSolutionAccuracy() (default 1e-5) and the maximum number of function evaluations is set through SetMaximumIterations() (default 0 = no maximum).

. This parameter should be greater than zero and smaller than 0.5
.
PrecisionType itk::LBFGS2Optimizerv4Template< TInternalComputationValueType >::GetLineSearchGradientAccuracy | ( | ) | const |

. If the function and gradient evaluations are inexpensive with respect to the cost of the iteration (which is sometimes the case when solving very large problems) it may be advantageous to set this parameter to a small value. A typical small value is 0.1
. This parameter should be greater than the ftol
parameter (1e-4
) and smaller than 1.0
.
PrecisionType itk::LBFGS2Optimizerv4Template< TInternalComputationValueType >::GetMachinePrecisionTolerance | ( | ) | const |
The machine precision for floating-point values. This parameter must be a positive value set by a client program to estimate the machine precision. The line search routine will terminate with the status code (LBFGSERR_ROUNDING_ERROR
) if the relative width of the interval of uncertainty is less than this parameter.

PrecisionType itk::LBFGS2Optimizerv4Template< TInternalComputationValueType >::GetOrthantwiseCoefficient | ( | ) | const |
Coefficient for the L1 norm of variables. This parameter should be set to zero for standard minimization problems. Setting this parameter to a positive value activates Orthant-Wise Limited-memory Quasi-Newton (OWL-QN) method, which minimizes the objective function F(x) combined with the L1 norm |x| of the variables, \(F(x) + C |x|}. \). This parameter is the coefficient for the |x|, i.e., C. As the L1 norm |x| is not differentiable at zero, the library modifies function and gradient evaluations from a client program suitably; a client program thus have only to return the function value F(x) and gradients G(x) as usual. The default value is zero.
int itk::LBFGS2Optimizerv4Template< TInternalComputationValueType >::GetOrthantwiseEnd | ( | ) | const |
End index for computing L1 norm of the variables. This parameter is valid only for OWL-QN method (i.e., \( orthantwise_c != 0 \)). This parameter e
, (0 < e <= N) specifies the index number at which the library stops computing the L1 norm of the variables x,
int itk::LBFGS2Optimizerv4Template< TInternalComputationValueType >::GetOrthantwiseStart | ( | ) | const |
Start index for computing L1 norm of the variables. This parameter is valid only for OWL-QN method (i.e., \( orthantwise_c != 0 \)). This parameter b (0 <= b < N) specifies the index number from which the library computes the L1 norm of the variables x,
\[ |x| := |x_{b}| + |x_{b+1}| + ... + |x_{N}| . \]
In other words, variables \(x_1, ..., x_{b-1}\) are not used for computing the L1 norm. Setting b
, (0 < b < N), one can protect variables, \(x_1, ..., x_{b-1}\) (e.g., a bias term of logistic regression) from being regularized. The default value is zero.
PrecisionType itk::LBFGS2Optimizerv4Template< TInternalComputationValueType >::GetSolutionAccuracy | ( | ) | const |
