Interface IOperator<TWeight, TProblem, TObjective, TSolution, TFitness>

Abstract representation of a heuristic/solver operator that is applied to a single instance and may lead to better/worse solution.

Namespace: System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject

Assembly: cs.temp.dll.dll

Syntax

public interface IOperator<TWeight, TProblem, TObjective, TSolution, TFitness>
    where TWeight : struct

Type Parameters

TWeight

TProblem

TObjective

TSolution

TFitness

Properties

Name

Returns the name of the operator.

Declaration

string Name { get; }

Property Value

System.String

Methods

Apply(TProblem, TObjective, TSolution, out TFitness)

Returns true if there was an improvement, false otherwise.

Declaration

bool Apply(TProblem problem, TObjective objective, TSolution solution, out TFitness delta)

Parameters

TProblem problem

TObjective objective

TSolution solution

TFitness delta The difference between the fitness value before and after the operation. The new fitness value can be calculated by subtracting the delta value from the old fitness value. This means a delta > 0 means an improvement in fitness when lower is better.

Returns

System.Boolean

Supports(TObjective)

Returns true if the given object is supported.

Declaration

bool Supports(TObjective objective)

Parameters

TObjective objective

Returns

System.Boolean
