在Julia中找到多元函数的不动点

Question

我需要在Julia中找到多变量函数的不动点。

考虑下面的最小示例：

function example(p::Array{Float64,1})
    q = -p
    return q
end

理想情况下，我将使用Roots.jl和call之类的包find_zeros(p -> p - example(p))，但找不到多变量函数的类似包。我找到了一个叫做的文件IntervalRootFinding，但是奇怪的是它需要使用Unicode字符，并且文档稀疏，所以我不知道该如何使用它。

有很多选择。最好的选择取决于功能的性质example（您必须了解example功能的性质，并对照特定软件包的文档进行检查，如果它可以支持它）。

例如。您可以fixedpoint从NLsolve.jl 使用：

julia> using NLsolve

julia> function example!(q, p::Array{Float64,1})
           q .= -p
       end
example! (generic function with 1 method)

julia> fixedpoint(example!, ones(1))

如果您的函数需要全局优化工具来查找固定点，则可以例如使用BlackBoxOptim.jl norm(f(x) .-x)作为目标：

julia> using LinearAlgebra

julia> using BlackBoxOptim

julia> function example(p::Array{Float64,1})
           q = -p
           return q
       end
example (generic function with 1 method)

julia> f(x) = norm(example(x) .- x)
f (generic function with 1 method)

julia> bboptimize(f; SearchRange = (-5.0, 5.0), NumDimensions = 1)
