Minimizing with differential evolution












4












$begingroup$


A differential evolution algorithm is given here. I would like to get this kind of animation. I thought I could use NMinimize, given
DifferentialEvolution as an option, but it turns out that does not work as I espected.



Is it possible to extract intermediate step in DifferentialEvolution, or do I have to implement algorithm myself?



f[x_, y_] := 
-20 E^(-0.2 Sqrt[0.5 (x^2 + y^2)]) - E^(0.5 (Cos[2 π x] + Cos[2 π y])) + E + 20

p1 =
Plot3D[f[x, y], {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5},
PerformanceGoal -> "Quality",
ColorFunction -> "WatermelonColors",
Mesh -> None,
BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1}];

p2 =
DensityPlot[f[x, y], {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5},
ColorFunction -> "WatermelonColors",
PlotPoints -> 200,
PerformanceGoal -> "Quality",
Frame -> False,
PlotRangePadding -> None];

p3 = Plot3D[0, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}, PlotStyle -> Texture[p2], Mesh -> None];

Show[p1, p3, PlotRange -> {0, 15}]


enter image description here



When I use StepMonitor to track iterations as follows, it does not work.



{fit, intermediates} = 
Reap[NMinimize[{f[x, y], -5 <= x <= 5, -5 <= y <= 5}, {x, y},
MaxIterations -> 1000,
Method -> {"DifferentialEvolution", "InitialPoints" -> Tuples[Range[-5, 5], 2]},
StepMonitor :> Sow[{x, y}]]];

Table[
ListPlot[Take[intermediates[[1, i ;; i + 10]]],
Frame -> True, ImageSize -> 350, AspectRatio -> 1],
{i, 10, 1000, 100}]


EDIT
Here is the result when we used @Michael E2 solution. Cool!!



f[x_, y_] := -20 E^(-0.2 Sqrt[0.5 (x^2 + y^2)]) - 
E^(0.5 (Cos[2 [Pi] x] + Cos[2 [Pi] y])) + E + 20

f[x_, y_] := -20 E^(-0.2 Sqrt[0.5 (x^2 + y^2)]) -

{fit, intermediates} =
