Multi-start optimization#
The optimization algorithm multistart
generates starting points using a DOE algorithm
and run a sub-optimization algorithm from each starting point.
from __future__ import annotations
from gemseo import configure_logger
from gemseo import create_design_space

First, we create the disciplines
objective = create_discipline("AnalyticDiscipline", expressions={"obj": "x**3-x+1"})
constraint = create_discipline(
"AnalyticDiscipline", expressions={"cstr": "x**2+obj**2-1.5"}
)
and the design space
design_space = create_design_space()
design_space.add_variable("x", lower_bound=-1.5, upper_bound=1.5, value=1.5)
Then, we define the MDO scenario
scenario = create_scenario(
[objective, constraint],
"obj",
design_space,
formulation_name="DisciplinaryOpt",
)
Note that the formulation settings passed to create_scenario() can be provided
via a Pydantic model. For more information, see Formulation Settings.
scenario.add_constraint("cstr", constraint_type="ineq")
and execute it with the MultiStart optimization algorithm
combining the local optimization algorithm SLSQP
and the full-factorial DOE algorithm:
multistart_settings = MultiStart_Settings(
max_iter=100,
opt_algo_name="SLSQP",
doe_algo_name="PYDOE_FULLFACT",
n_start=10,
# Set multistart_file_path to save the history of the local optima.
multistart_file_path="multistart.hdf5",
)
scenario.execute(multistart_settings)
