- scipy.optimize.linearmixing(F, xin, iter=None, alpha=None, verbose=False, maxiter=None, f_tol=None, f_rtol=None, x_tol=None, x_rtol=None, tol_norm=None, line_search='armijo', callback=None, **kw)#
- Find a root of a function, using a scalar Jacobian approximation. - Warning - This algorithm may be useful for specific problems, but whether it will work may depend strongly on the problem. - Parameters:
- Ffunction(x) -> f
- Function whose root to find; should take and return an array-like object. 
- xinarray_like
- Initial guess for the solution 
- alphafloat, optional
- The Jacobian approximation is (-1/alpha). 
- iterint, optional
- Number of iterations to make. If omitted (default), make as many as required to meet tolerances. 
- verbosebool, optional
- Print status to stdout on every iteration. 
- maxiterint, optional
- Maximum number of iterations to make. If more are needed to meet convergence, - NoConvergenceis raised.
- f_tolfloat, optional
- Absolute tolerance (in max-norm) for the residual. If omitted, default is 6e-6. 
- f_rtolfloat, optional
- Relative tolerance for the residual. If omitted, not used. 
- x_tolfloat, optional
- Absolute minimum step size, as determined from the Jacobian approximation. If the step size is smaller than this, optimization is terminated as successful. If omitted, not used. 
- x_rtolfloat, optional
- Relative minimum step size. If omitted, not used. 
- tol_normfunction(vector) -> scalar, optional
- Norm to use in convergence check. Default is the maximum norm. 
- line_search{None, ‘armijo’ (default), ‘wolfe’}, optional
- Which type of a line search to use to determine the step size in the direction given by the Jacobian approximation. Defaults to ‘armijo’. 
- callbackfunction, optional
- Optional callback function. It is called on every iteration as - callback(x, f)where x is the current solution and f the corresponding residual.
 
- Returns:
- solndarray
- An array (of similar array type as x0) containing the final solution. 
 
- Raises:
- NoConvergence
- When a solution was not found.
