AbstractPAChangeOperator

public AbstractPAChangeOperator(PASemantics semantics,
 RealVectorNorm norm,
 SimpleRealValuedFunction f)

Creates a new change operator for the given semantics that uses the specified norm for distance measuring and the given function for optimizing.

Parameters:

semantics - the semantics used for change.

norm - the norm used for distance measurement between probabilistic extensions.

f - the function that is maximized on the set of probabilistic extensions with minimal distance.
