Welcome to scipybiteopt’s documentation!

scipybiteopt offers a scipy.optimize like API for the global optimizer biteopt.

Installation

pip install scipybiteopt

Note that a C++ compiler is required.

Example: Minimizing the six-hump camel back function

import scipybiteopt

def camel(x):
   """Six-hump camelback function"""
   x1 = x[0]
   x2 = x[1]
   f = (4 - 2.1*(x1*x1) + (x1*x1*x1*x1)/3.0)*(x1*x1) + x1*x2 + (-4 + 4*(x2*x2))*(x2*x2)
   return f

bounds = [(-4, 4), (-4, 4)]

res = scipybiteopt.biteopt(camel, bounds)
print("Found optimum: ", res.x)

Which biteopt version is used?
