Parameters ---------- func : callable The objective function to be minimized. Must be in the form ``f(x, *args)``, where ``x`` is the argument in the form of a 1-D array and ``args`` is a tuple of any additional fixed parameters needed to completely specify the function. bounds : sequence, shape (n, 2) Bounds for variables. ``(min, max)`` pairs for each element in ``x``, defining bounds for the objective function parameter. args : tuple, optional Any additional fixed parameters needed to completely specify the objective function. maxiter : int, optional The maximum number of global search iterations.

Some important options could be: ``method`` for the minimizer method to use and ``args`` for objective function additional arguments. initial_temp : float, optional The initial temperature, use higher values to facilitates a wider search of the energy landscape, allowing dual_annealing to escape local minima that it is trapped in. Default value is 5230.

Default value of the ratio is 2e-5. Range is (0, 1). visit : float, optional Parameter for visiting distribution. Default value is 2.62.

The value range is (0, 3]. accept : float, optional Parameter for acceptance distribution. It is used to control the probability of acceptance.

Default value is 1e7. seed : {int, `~numpy.random.RandomState`, `~numpy.random.Generator`}, optional If `seed` is not specified the `~numpy.random.RandomState` singleton is used. If `seed` is an int, a new ``RandomState`` instance is used, seeded with `seed`. If `seed` is already a ``RandomState`` or ``Generator`` instance, then that instance is used. Specify `seed` for repeatable minimizations. The random numbers generated with this seed only affect the visiting distribution function and new coordinates generation. no_local_search : bool, optional If `no_local_search` is set to True, a traditional Generalized Simulated Annealing will be performed with no local search strategy applied. callback : callable, optional A callback function with signature ``callback(x, f, context)``, which will be called for all minima found. ``x`` and ``f`` are the coordinates and function value of the latest minimum found, and ``context`` has value in [0, 1, 2], with the following meaning: - 0: minimum detected in the annealing process. - 1: detection occurred in the local search process. - 2: detection done in the dual annealing process. If the callback implementation returns True, the algorithm will stop. x0 : ndarray, shape(n,), optional Coordinates of a single N-D starting point. Returns ------- res : OptimizeResult The optimization result represented as a `OptimizeResult` object. Important attributes are: ``x`` the solution array, ``fun`` the value of the function at the solution, and ``message`` which describes the cause of the termination. See `OptimizeResult` for a description of other attributes. Notes ----- This function implements the Dual Annealing optimization. This stochastic approach derived from [3]_ combines the generalization of CSA (Classical Simulated Annealing) and FSA (Fast Simulated Annealing) [1]_ [2]_ coupled to a strategy for applying a local search on accepted locations [4]_. An alternative implementation of this same algorithm is described in [5]_ and benchmarks are presented in [6]_. This approach introduces an advanced method to refine the solution found by the generalized annealing process. This algorithm uses a distorted Cauchy-Lorentz visiting distribution, with its shape controlled by the parameter :math:`q_{v}` .. math:: g_{q_{v}}(\\Delta x(t)) \\propto \\frac{ \\ \\left[T_{q_{v}}(t) \\right]^{-\\frac{D}{3-q_{v}}}}{ \\ \\left[{1+(q_{v}-1)\\frac{(\\Delta x(t))^{2}} { \\ \\left[T_{q_{v}}(t)\\right]^{\\frac{2}{3-q_{v}}}}}\\right]^{ \\ \\frac{1}{q_{v}-1}+\\frac{D-1}{2}}} Where :math:`t` is the artificial time. This visiting distribution is used to generate a trial jump distance :math:`\\Delta x(t)` of variable :math:`x(t)` under artificial temperature :math:`T_{q_{v}}(t)`. From the starting point, after calling the visiting distribution function, the acceptance probability is computed as follows: .. math:: p_{q_{a}} = \\min{\\{1,\\left[1-(1-q_{a}) \\beta \\Delta E \\right]^{ \\ \\frac{1}{1-q_{a}}}\\}} Where :math:`q_{a}` is a acceptance parameter. For :math:`q_{a}<1`, zero acceptance probability is assigned to the cases where .. math:: [1-(1-q_{a}) \\beta \\Delta E] < 0 The artificial temperature :math:`T_{q_{v}}(t)` is decreased according to .. math:: T_{q_{v}}(t) = T_{q_{v}}(1) \\frac{2^{q_{v}-1}-1}{\\left( \\ 1 + t\\right)^{q_{v}-1}-1} Where :math:`q_{v}` is the visiting parameter. .. versionadded:: 1.2.0 References ---------- ..
