Detailed Description

A simplex optimizer taken from GSL.

Simplex works by modifying a simplex in the space of the optimized attributes. The algorithm may not behave well when using score states, such as those involved in rigid bodies, which significantly change the values of the attributes. Then, again, it may work just fine. But be aware that it is not understood.

The main advantage of Simplex is that it is a local optimizer that does not require derivatives.

Parameters

The parameters are:

  • minimum_size: the optimization stops when the size of the simplex falls below this. The size is defined as the average distance from the centroid to the simplex vertices. (Default 0.1)
  • initial_length: the length of the initial sizes of the simplex. Make sure that this covers the optimal solution, given the starting configuration. (Default 1)
Note
Both quantities are relative to rescaled attributes and so should be numbers between 0 and 1.
