"""Finds the global minimum of a multivariate function.
Differential Evolution is stochastic in nature (does not use gradient
methods) to find the minimum, and can search large areas of candidate
space, but often requires larger numbers of function evaluations than
conventional gradient-based techniques.
The algorithm is due to Storn and Price [1]_.
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 or `Bounds`, optional
Bounds for variables. There are two ways to specify the bounds:
1. Instance of `Bounds` class.
2. ``(min, max)`` pairs for each element in ``x``, defining the finite
lower and upper bounds for the optimizing argument of `func`. It is
required to have ``len(bounds) == len(x)``. ``len(bounds)`` is used
to determine the number of parameters in ``x``.
args : tuple, optional
Any additional fixed parameters needed to
completely specify the objective function.
strategy : str, optional
The differential evolution strategy to use. Should be one of:
- 'best1bin'
- 'best1exp'
- 'rand1exp'
- 'randtobest1exp'
- 'currenttobest1exp'
- 'best2exp'
- 'rand2exp'
- 'randtobest1bin'
- 'currenttobest1bin'
- 'best2bin'
- 'rand2bin'
- 'rand1bin'
The default is 'best1bin'.
maxiter : int, optional
The maximum number of generations over which the entire population is
evolved. The maximum number of function evaluations (with no polishing)
is: ``(maxiter + 1) * popsize * len(x)``
popsize : int, optional
A multiplier for setting the total population size. The population has
``popsize * len(x)`` individuals (unless the initial population is
supplied via the `init` keyword).
tol : float, optional
Relative tolerance for convergence, the solving stops when
``np.std(pop) <= atol + tol * np.abs(np.mean(population_energies))``,
where and `atol` and `tol` are the absolute and relative tolerance
respectively.
mutation : float or tuple(float, float), optional
The mutation constant. In the literature this is also known as
differential weight, being denoted by F.
If specified as a float it should be in the range [0, 2].
If specified as a tuple ``(min, max)`` dithering is employed. Dithering
randomly changes the mutation constant on a generation by generation
basis. The mutation constant for that generation is taken from
``U[min, max)``. Dithering can help speed convergence significantly.
Increasing the mutation constant increases the search radius, but will
slow down convergence.
recombination : float, optional
The recombination constant, should be in the range [0, 1]. In the
literature this is also known as the crossover probability, being
denoted by CR. Increasing this value allows a larger number of mutants
to progress into the next generation, but at the risk of population
stability.
seed : {int, `~np.random.RandomState`, `~np.random.Generator`}, optional
If `seed` is not specified the `~np.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 a ``Generator`` instance,
then that object is used.
Specify `seed` for repeatable minimizations.
disp : bool, optional
Prints the evaluated `func` at every iteration.
callback : callable, `callback(xk, convergence=val)`, optional
A function to follow the progress of the minimization. ``xk`` is
the current value of ``x0``. ``val`` represents the fractional
value of the population convergence. When ``val`` is greater than one
the function halts. If callback returns `True`, then the minimization
is halted (any polishing is still carried out).
polish : bool, optional
If True (default), then `scipy.optimize.minimize` with the `L-BFGS-B`
method is used to polish the best population member at the end, which
can improve the minimization slightly. If a constrained problem is
being studied then the `trust-constr` method is used instead.
init : str or array-like, optional
Specify which type of population initialization is performed. Should be
one of:
- 'latinhypercube'
- 'random'
- array specifying the initial population. The array should have
shape ``(M, len(x))``, where M is the total population size and
len(x) is the number of parameters.
`init` is clipped to `bounds` before use.
The default is 'latinhypercube'. Latin Hypercube sampling tries to
maximize coverage of the available parameter space. 'random'
initializes the population randomly - this has the drawback that
clustering can occur, preventing the whole of parameter space being
covered. Use of an array to specify a population subset could be used,
for example, to create a tight bunch of initial guesses in an location
where the solution is known to exist, thereby reducing time for
convergence.
atol : float, optional
Absolute tolerance for convergence, the solving stops when
``np.std(pop) <= atol + tol * np.abs(np.mean(population_energies))``,
where and `atol` and `tol` are the absolute and relative tolerance
respectively.
updating : {'immediate', 'deferred'}, optional
If ``'immediate'``, the best solution vector is continuously updated
within a single generation [4]_. This can lead to faster convergence as
trial vectors can take advantage of continuous improvements in the best
solution.
With ``'deferred'``, the best solution vector is updated once per
generation. Only ``'deferred'`` is compatible with parallelization, and
the `workers` keyword can over-ride this option.
.. versionadded:: 1.2.0
workers : int or map-like callable, optional
If `workers` is an int the population is subdivided into `workers`
sections and evaluated in parallel
(uses `multiprocessing.Pool <multiprocessing>`).
Supply -1 to use all available CPU cores.
Alternatively supply a map-like callable, such as
`multiprocessing.Pool.map` for evaluating the population in parallel.
This evaluation is carried out as ``workers(func, iterable)``.
This option will override the `updating` keyword to
``updating='deferred'`` if ``workers != 1``.
Requires that `func` be pickleable.
.. versionadded:: 1.2.0
constraints : {NonLinearConstraint, LinearConstraint, Bounds}
Constraints on the solver, over and above those applied by the `bounds`
kwd. Uses the approach by Lampinen [5]_.
.. versionadded:: 1.4.0
Returns
-------
res : OptimizeResult
The optimization result represented as a `OptimizeResult` object.
Important attributes are: ``x`` the solution array, ``success`` a
Boolean flag indicating if the optimizer exited successfully and
``message`` which describes the cause of the termination. See
`OptimizeResult` for a description of other attributes. If `polish`
was employed, and a lower minimum was obtained by the polishing, then
OptimizeResult also contains the ``jac`` attribute.
If the eventual solution does not satisfy the applied constraints
``success`` will be `False`.
Notes
-----
Differential evolution is a stochastic population based method that is
useful for global optimization problems. At each pass through the population
the algorithm mutates each candidate solution by mixing with other candidate
solutions to create a trial candidate. There are several strategies [2]_ for
creating trial candidates, which suit some problems more than others. The
'best1bin' strategy is a good starting point for many systems. In this
strategy two members of the population are randomly chosen. Their difference
is used to mutate the best member (the 'best' in 'best1bin'), :math:`b_0`,
so far:
.. math::
b' = b_0 + mutation * (population[rand0] - population[rand1])
A trial vector is then constructed. Starting with a randomly chosen ith
parameter the trial is sequentially filled (in modulo) with parameters from
``b'`` or the original candidate. The choice of whether to use ``b'`` or the
original candidate is made with a binomial distribution (the 'bin' in
'best1bin') - a random number in [0, 1) is generated. If this number is
less than the `recombination` constant then the parameter is loaded from
``b'``, otherwise it is loaded from the original candidate. The final
parameter is always loaded from ``b'``. Once the trial candidate is built
its fitness is assessed. If the trial is better than the original candidate
then it takes its place. If it is also better than the best overall
candidate it also replaces that.
To improve your chances of finding a global minimum use higher `popsize`
values, with higher `mutation` and (dithering), but lower `recombination`
values. This has the effect of widening the search radius, but slowing
convergence.
By default the best solution vector is updated continuously within a single
iteration (``updating='immediate'``). This is a modification [4]_ of the
original differential evolution algorithm which can lead to faster
convergence as trial vectors can immediately benefit from improved
solutions. To use the original Storn and Price behaviour, updating the best
solution once per iteration, set ``updating='deferred'``.
.. versionadded:: 0.15.0
Examples
--------
Let us consider the problem of minimizing the Rosenbrock function. This
function is implemented in `rosen` in `scipy.optimize`.
>>> from scipy.optimize import rosen, differential_evolution
>>> bounds = [(0,2), (0, 2), (0, 2), (0, 2), (0, 2)]
>>> result = differential_evolution(rosen, bounds)
>>> result.x, result.fun
(array([1., 1., 1., 1., 1.]), 1.9216496320061384e-19)
Now repeat, but with parallelization.
>>> bounds = [(0,2), (0, 2), (0, 2), (0, 2), (0, 2)]
>>> result = differential_evolution(rosen, bounds, updating='deferred',
... workers=2)
>>> result.x, result.fun
(array([1., 1., 1., 1., 1.]), 1.9216496320061384e-19)
Let's try and do a constrained minimization
>>> from scipy.optimize import NonlinearConstraint, Bounds
>>> def constr_f(x):
... return np.array(x[0] + x[1])
>>>
>>> # the sum of x[0] and x[1] must be less than 1.9
>>> nlc = NonlinearConstraint(constr_f, -np.inf, 1.9)
>>> # specify limits using a `Bounds` object.
>>> bounds = Bounds([0., 0.], [2., 2.])
>>> result = differential_evolution(rosen, bounds, constraints=(nlc),
... seed=1)
>>> result.x, result.fun
(array([0.96633867, 0.93363577]), 0.0011361355854792312)
Next find the minimum of the Ackley function
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_functions_for_optimization).
>>> from scipy.optimize import differential_evolution
>>> import numpy as np
>>> def ackley(x):
... arg1 = -0.2 * np.sqrt(0.5 * (x[0] ** 2 + x[1] ** 2))
... arg2 = 0.5 * (np.cos(2. * np.pi * x[0]) + np.cos(2. * np.pi * x[1]))
... return -20. * np.exp(arg1) - np.exp(arg2) + 20. + np.e
>>> bounds = [(-5, 5), (-5, 5)]
>>> result = differential_evolution(ackley, bounds)
>>> result.x, result.fun
(array([ 0., 0.]), 4.4408920985006262e-16)

If True (default), then `scipy.optimize.minimize` with the `L-BFGS-B`
method is used to polish the best population member at the end, which
can improve the minimization slightly. If a constrained problem is
being studied then the `trust-constr` method is used instead.
maxfun : int, optional
Set the maximum number of function evaluations. However, it probably
makes more sense to set `maxiter` instead.

Specify which type of population initialization is performed. Should be
one of:

Important attributes are: ``x`` the solution array, ``success`` a
Boolean flag indicating if the optimizer exited successfully and
``message`` which describes the cause of the termination. See
`OptimizeResult` for a description of other attributes. If `polish`
was employed, and a lower minimum was obtained by the polishing,
then OptimizeResult also contains the ``jac`` attribute.
