porgo 1.0.1

The portable universal library in global optimization.

porgo

When I was researching a function without given all local minima, like the underlined function:

$$ f(x)=\sum_{i=1}^{n/2}(-13+x_{2i-1}+((5-x_{2i})x_{2i}-2)x_{2i})^2+(-29+x_{2i-1}+((x_{2i}+1)x_{2i}-14)x_{2i})^2. $$

I used optimtool.unconstrain to search local minima, got an efficient experience about searching the nearest minimum point. Add a mechanism to jump out of the local area would increase the runtime of the whole script, so porgo is a new progam to accelerate to search global minima.

refer to test.py and the global minima of 4-dimensional $f(x)$ is (5, 4, 5, 4).

glos

glos is the main runtime to serve as a global search class, users can run train_gen module with given cycles at any times until the function searching process converged.

init:

• objective_function: Callable, a high-dimensional function with convex, non-convex, and many local minima.
• bounds: List[List[float]] | List[Tuple[float]], changes this value makes a significant influence of best and best_fit.
• mutation: float=0.5, increase this value makes the search radius larger.
• recombination: float=0.9, increase this value allows larger number of mutation.

rand_pop:

• population_size: int=50, randomly init the population (or called initial points) with shape at (population, dimension).
• verbose: bool=False, whether to output initial population when manually replace the random generated rule.

train_gen:

• cycles: int=1000, try to run several times (until converged) when give a smaller cycle number if search bounds is in large space.

result:

• verbose: bool=False, whether to output console information after search populations were updated (check self.best and self.best_fit).
