class pybop.optimisers.scipy_optimisers.BaseSciPyOptimiser(cost, **optimiser_kwargs)

Bases: pybop.BaseOptimiser

A base class for defining optimisation methods from the SciPy library.

Parameters:

• x0 (array_like) – Initial position from which optimisation will start.

• bounds (dict, sequence or scipy.optimize.Bounds, optional) – Bounds for variables as supported by the selected method.

• **optimiser_kwargs (optional) – Valid SciPy option keys and their values.

_run()

Internal method to run the optimization using a PyBOP optimiser.

Returns:

result – The result of the optimisation including the optimised parameter values and cost.

Return type:

pybop.Result

_sanitise_inputs()

Check and remove any duplicate optimiser options.

class pybop.optimisers.scipy_optimisers.SciPyDifferentialEvolution(cost, **optimiser_kwargs)

Bases: BaseSciPyOptimiser

Adapts SciPy’s differential_evolution function for global optimization.

This class provides a global optimization strategy based on differential evolution, useful for problems involving continuous parameters and potentially multiple local minima.

Parameters:

• bounds (dict, sequence or scipy.optimize.Bounds) – Bounds for variables. Must be provided as it is essential for differential evolution.

• **optimiser_kwargs (optional) –

  Valid SciPy option keys and their values, for example: strategy : str

  The differential evolution strategy to use.

  maxiterint

  Maximum number of iterations to perform.

  popsizeint

  The number of individuals in the population.
