Simple and powerful global optimization using a Self-Adapting Differential Evolution for Rust. See Wikipedia's article on Differential Evolution for more information.
Documentation: https://docs.rs/differential-evolution/*/differential_evolution/
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
toml
[dependencies]
differential-evolution = "*"
and this to your crate root:
rust
extern crate differential_evolution;
Differential Evolution is a global optimization algorithm that tries to iteratively improve candidate solutions with regards to a user-defined cost function.
This example finds the minimum of a simple 5-dimensional function.
```rust // Simple example how to use the API. extern crate differential_evolution;
use differentialevolution::selfadaptive_de;
fn main() { // create a self adaptive DE with an inital search area // from -10 to 10 in 5 dimensions. let mut de = selfadaptivede(vec![(-10.0, 10.0); 5], |pos| { // cost function to minimize: sum of squares pos.iter().fold(0.0, |sum, x| sum + x*x) });
// perform 10000 cost evaluations
de.nth(10000);
// show the result
let (cost, pos) = de.best().unwrap();
println!("cost: {}", cost);
println!("pos: {:?}", pos);
} ```
