Gradient interface (abstract class) defining the signature for calculating the gradient of a multi-dimensional function.

Three methods are provided:

Gradient(const double *x, double * grad) evaluate the full gradient vector at the vector value x
Derivative(const double * x, int icoord) evaluate the partial derivative for the icoord coordinate
FdF(const double *x, double &f, double * g) evaluate at the same time gradient and function/

Concrete classes should derive from ROOT::Math::IGradientFunctionMultiDim and not from this class.

function to evaluate the derivative with respect each coordinate.

To be implemented by the derived class

Implemented in ROOT::Math::GradFunctor, ROOT::Math::LSResidualFunc, ROOT::Math::MultiNumGradFunction, ROOT::Math::MinimTransformFunction, and TPyMultiGradFunction.

	)		const

pure virtual

Optimized method to evaluate at the same time the function value and derivative at a point x.

Often both value and derivatives are needed and it is often more efficient to compute them at the same time. Derived class should implement this method if performances play an important role and if it is faster to evaluate value and derivative at the same time

Implemented in ROOT::Math::IGradientFunctionMultiDim, ROOT::Math::LSResidualFunc, and TPyMultiGradFunction.

virtual void ROOT::Math::IGradientMultiDim::Gradient	(	const double *	x,
		double *	grad
	)		const

pure virtual

Evaluate all the vector of function derivatives (gradient) at a point x.

Derived classes must re-implement if it is more efficient than evaluting one at a time

Implemented in ROOT::Math::IGradientFunctionMultiDim, ROOT::Math::LSResidualFunc, and TPyMultiGradFunction.
