Class Control

java.lang.Object
org.opt4j.core.optimizer.Control

public class Control extends Object

The Control allows to pause, stop, and terminate, the optimization process.

The Optimizer calls the methods

in which the process might get paused, terminated (by the TerminationException) or stopped (by the StopException). By definition, a StopException might get thrown only between iterations, a TerminationException also within an iteration of the optimization algorithm. In this context, the optimization algorithm calls checkpointStop() between the iterations and checkpoint() within the iteration.

      Returns:
      the state
    • setState

      protected void setState(Control.State state)
