opfunu-core 1.0.6

An Open-source Python Library for Optimization Benchmark Functions

opfunu-core

This library is a maintenance version, a fork of OPFUNU (Optimization Reference Functions in NUMPy). Is one of the most comprehensive Python libraries of numerical optimization reference functions. It contains all the functions from the CEC competitions of 2005, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. In addition, it implements over 300 traditional functions with varying dimensions.

Installation and Usage

Install with pip

Install the current PyPI release:

$ pip install opfunu-core

Install from Github:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/ltsim/opfunu-core

After installation, you can import and check version of Opfunu:

$ python
>>> import opfunu
>>> opfunu.__version__

>>> dir(opfunu)
>>> help(opfunu)

>>> opfunu.FUNC_DATABASE      # List all name_based functions
>>> opfunu.CEC_DATABASE       # List all cec_based functions
>>> opfunu.ALL_DATABASE       # List all functions in this library

>>> opfunu.get_functions_by_classname("MiShra04")
>>> opfunu.get_functions_based_classname("2015")
>>> opfunu.get_functions_by_ndim(2)
>>> opfunu.get_functions_based_ndim(50)

>>> opfunu.get_name_based_functions(ndim=10, continuous=True)
>>> opfunu.get_cec_based_functions(ndim=2)

Let's go through some examples.

Examples

How to get the function and use it

1st way

from opfunu.cec_based.cec2014 import F12014

func = F12014(ndim=30)
func.evaluate(func.create_solution())

## or

from opfunu.cec_based import F102014

func = F102014(ndim=50)
func.evaluate(func.create_solution())

2nd way

import opfunu

funcs = opfunu.get_functions_by_classname("F12014")
func = funcs[0](ndim=10)
func.evaluate(func.create_solution())

## or

all_funcs_2014 = opfunu.get_functions_based_classname("2014")
print(all_funcs_2014)
