ENH: add biteopt global optimization algorithm by dschmitz89 · Pull Request #25496 · scipy/scipy · GitHub adds the `biteopt` algorithm for global optimization to SciPy. Although there exists no formal paper about the method, the algorithm has become noted in the optimization community, e.g. in this benchmark of benchmarks: Global Optimization Benchmarks — Global Optimization Benchmarks 0.1.0 documentation . It originates from the following repo: GitHub - avaneev/biteopt: Derivative-Free Global Optimization Algorithm (C++, Python binding) - Continuous, Discrete, TSP, NLS, MINLP · GitHub
First benchmark results rank biteopt at the top of our own global optimization benchmark suite (see PR), so we are quite excited about this new feature. Any kind of comments are welcome.
