Member Function Documentation

◆ determinant()

double gtsam::GaussianBayesTree::determinant ( ) const

Computes the determinant of a GassianBayesTree, as if the Bayes tree is reorganized into a matrix.

A GassianBayesTree is equivalent to an upper triangular matrix, and for an upper triangular matrix determinant is the product of the diagonal elements. Instead of actually multiplying we add the logarithms of the diagonal elements and take the exponent at the end because this is more numerically stable.

◆ gradient()

VectorValues gtsam::GaussianBayesTree::gradient ( const VectorValues & x0) const

Compute the gradient of the energy function, \( \nabla_{x=x_0} \left\Vert \Sigma^{-1} R x - d \right\Vert^2 \), centered around \( x = x_0 \).

The gradient is \( R^T(Rx-d) \).

Parameters
x0The center about which to compute the gradient
Returns
The gradient as a VectorValues

◆ gradientAtZero()

VectorValues gtsam::GaussianBayesTree::gradientAtZero ( ) const

Compute the gradient of the energy function, \( \nabla_{x=0} \left\Vert \Sigma^{-1} R x - d \right\Vert^2 \), centered around zero.

The gradient about zero is \( -R^T d \). See also gradient(const GaussianBayesNet&, const VectorValues&).

Returns
A VectorValues storing the gradient.

◆ logDeterminant()

double gtsam::GaussianBayesTree::logDeterminant ( ) const

Computes the determinant of a GassianBayesTree, as if the Bayes tree is reorganized into a matrix.

A GassianBayesTree is equivalent to an upper triangular matrix, and for an upper triangular matrix determinant is the product of the diagonal elements. Instead of actually multiplying we add the logarithms of the diagonal elements and take the exponent at the end because this is more numerically stable.

◆ optimizeGradientSearch()

VectorValues gtsam::GaussianBayesTree::optimizeGradientSearch ( ) const

Optimize along the gradient direction, with a closed-form computation to perform the line search.

The gradient is computed about \( \delta x=0 \).

This function returns \( \delta x \) that minimizes a reparametrized problem. The error function of a GaussianBayesNet is

\[ f(\delta x) = \frac{1}{2} |R \delta x - d|^2 = \frac{1}{2}d^T d - d^T R \delta x + \frac{1}{2} \delta x^T R^T R \delta x \]

with gradient and Hessian

\[ g(\delta x) = R^T(R\delta x - d), \qquad G(\delta x) = R^T R. \]

This function performs the line search in the direction of the gradient evaluated at \( g = g(\delta x = 0) \) with step size \( \alpha \) that minimizes \( f(\delta x = \alpha g) \):

\[ f(\alpha) = \frac{1}{2} d^T d + g^T \delta x + \frac{1}{2} \alpha^2 g^T G g \]

Optimizing by setting the derivative to zero yields \( \hat \alpha = (-g^T g) / (g^T G g) \). For efficiency, this function evaluates the denominator without computing the Hessian \( G \), returning

\[ \delta x = \hat\alpha g = \frac{-g^T g}{(R g)^T(R g)} \]
