Optimizer¶

class Optimizer[source]¶

Bases: abc.ABC

Base class for optimization algorithm.

Initialize the optimization algorithm, setting the support level for _gradient_support_level, _bound_support_level, _initial_point_support_level, and empty options.

Methods

`get_support_level`	Return support level dictionary
`gradient_num_diff`	We compute the gradient with the numeric differentiation in the parallel way, around the point x_center.
`minimize`	Minimize the scalar function.
`print_options`	Print algorithm-specific options.
`set_max_evals_grouped`	Set max evals grouped
`set_options`	Sets or updates values in the options dictionary.
`wrap_function`	Wrap the function to implicitly inject the args at the call of the function.

Attributes

bounds_support_level¶: Returns bounds support level

gradient_support_level¶: Returns gradient support level

initial_point_support_level¶: Returns initial point support level

is_bounds_ignored¶: Returns is bounds ignored

is_bounds_required¶: Returns is bounds required

is_bounds_supported¶: Returns is bounds supported

is_gradient_ignored¶: Returns is gradient ignored

is_gradient_required¶: Returns is gradient required

is_gradient_supported¶: Returns is gradient supported

is_initial_point_ignored¶: Returns is initial point ignored

is_initial_point_required¶: Returns is initial point required

is_initial_point_supported¶: Returns is initial point supported

setting¶: Return setting

settings¶

The optimizer settings in a dictionary format.

The settings can for instance be used for JSON-serialization (if all settings are serializable, which e.g. doesn’t hold per default for callables), such that the optimizer object can be reconstructed as

settings = optimizer.settings
# JSON serialize and send to another server
optimizer = OptimizerClass(**settings)

Return type: Dict[str, Any]
