class DIRECT_L_RAND(max_evals=1000)
DIviding RECTangles Locally-biased Randomized optimizer.
DIRECT-L RAND is the “locally biased” variant with some randomization in near-tie decisions. See also DIRECT_L

gradient_num_diff
static gradient_num_diff(x_center, f, epsilon, max_evals_grouped=1)
We compute the gradient with the numeric differentiation in the parallel way, around the point x_center.
Parameters
- x_center (ndarray) – point around which we compute the gradient
- f (func) – the function of which the gradient is to be computed.
- epsilon (float) – the epsilon used in the numeric differentiation.
- max_evals_grouped (int) – max evals grouped
Returns
the gradient computed
Return type

optimize
optimize(num_vars, objective_function, gradient_function=None, variable_bounds=None, initial_point=None)
Perform optimization.
Parameters
- num_vars (int) – Number of parameters to be optimized.
- objective_function (callable) – A function that computes the objective function.
- gradient_function (callable) – A function that computes the gradient of the objective function, or None if not available.
- variable_bounds (list[(float, float)]) – List of variable bounds, given as pairs (lower, upper). None means unbounded.
- initial_point (numpy.ndarray[float]) – Initial point.
Returns
point, value, nfev
point: is a 1D numpy.ndarray[float] containing the solution value: is a float with the objective function value nfev: number of objective function calls made if available or None
Raises
ValueError – invalid input
print_options
print_options()
Print algorithm-specific options.
set_max_evals_grouped
set_max_evals_grouped(limit)
Set max evals grouped
set_options
set_options(**kwargs)
Sets or updates values in the options dictionary.
The options dictionary may be used internally by a given optimizer to pass additional optional values for the underlying optimizer/optimization function used. The options dictionary may be initially populated with a set of key/values when the given optimizer is constructed.
Parameters
kwargs (dict) – options, given as name=value.
setting
Return setting
wrap_function
static wrap_function(function, args)
Wrap the function to implicitly inject the args at the call of the function.
Parameters
- function (func) – the target function
- args (tuple) – the args to be injected
Returns
wrapper
Return type
