History

v0.0.11-alpha

This is the initial release of iwopy - ready for testing.

So far not many models have been transferred from the Fraunhofer IWES in-house predecessor iwes-opt, they will be added in the following versions. We are just getting started here!

Enjoy - we are awaiting comments and issues, thanks for testing.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/FraunhoferIWES/iwopy/commits/v0.0.11

v0.0.12-alpha

  • Benchmarks:

    • New benchmark rosenbrock added

  • Tests:

    • Extended tests for pygmo and pymoo

  • Fixes:

    • Bugs fixed with discretization

Full Changelog: https://github.com/FraunhoferIWES/iwopy/commits/v0.0.12

v0.0.13-alpha

  • Wrappers:

    • Introducing SimpleObjective and SimpleConstraint, for functions of simple numeric types like f(x, y, ...)

  • Examples:

    • New example: electrostatics, solvable with IPOPT, GA, PSO

  • Notebooks:

    • Work on examples.ipynb: Adding section on simple function minimization

Full Changelog: https://github.com/FraunhoferIWES/iwopy/commits/v0.0.13

v0.0.14-alpha

  • Notebooks:

    • Work on examples.ipynb: Adding electrostatics example

  • Core:

    • OptResults can now be printed

Full Changelog: https://github.com/FraunhoferIWES/iwopy/commits/v0.0.14

v0.0.15-alpha

  • Utils:

    • RegularDiscretizationGrid now with interpolation parameter: None, nearest or linear

  • Wrappers:

    • New wrapper: LocalFD, Local Finite Difference. Calculates function derivatives by applying local finite difference rules. Currently orders 1 and 2 are implemented, more could be added later.

  • Optimizers:

    • New optimizer: GG, Greedy Gradient. A pretty straight forward gradient based local optimizer that projects out (or reverses) directions of constraint violation. Mostly implemented for the purpose of testing gradients, but maybe worth a try also for problem solving.

  • Examples:

    • electrostatics: New optional constraint MinDist, forcing charges to keep a minimal distance. Also adding a script that demonstrates how to solve this problem using NLOPT via pygmo, and another for solving the problem using the GG algorithm.
