## How to Install

This library is a python implementation for the MatLab package [BenchmarkFcns Toolbox](http://benchmarkfcns.xyz/).

You can simply install with command ```pip install PyBenchFCN```.
- Pre-request: ```numpy```, ```matplotlib```

## How to Use

The input of each numerical optimization problem could be a 1-D ndarray, or 2-D ndarray.
- **1-D array**
  - an example of **a solution (individual)** for 10D problem is ```np.random.uniform(0, 1, 10)```, where each entry is a decision variable.
  - <u>use ```f()``` to return a fitness value (scalar for SOP, 1D-array for MOP).</u>
- **2-D array**
  - an example of **group of solutions (population)** for 10D problem is ```np.random.uniform(0, 1, (5, 10))```, where each row (totally 5) is an individual.
  - <u>use ```F()``` to return an array of fitness value (1-D array for SOP, 2-D array for MOP).</u>

### Set Benchmark Function

To set a benchmark function, one may see the sample code in ```Factory.py``` in the [repository](https://github.com/Y1fanHE/PyBenchFCN), or follow the script below. Also, there is a sample optimization program provided in ```sample.py```.

```python3
import numpy as np

# import single objective problems from PyBenchFCN
from PyBenchFCN import SingleObjectiveProblem as SOP

n_var = 10                                      # dimension of problem
n_pop = 3                                       # size of population

problem = SOP.ackleyfcn(n_var)                  # Ackley problem

'''same function as the code above
from PyBenchFCN import Factory
problem = Factory.set_sop("f1", n_var)
'''

print( np.round(problem.optimalF, 5) )          # show rounded optimal value

xl, xu = problem.boundaries                     # bound of problem

x = np.random.uniform(xl, xu, n_var)            # initialize a solution
print( problem.f(x) )                           # show fitness value as scalar

X = np.random.uniform( xl, xu, (n_pop, n_var) ) # initialize a population
print( problem.F(X) )                           # show fitness values as 1d-array
```

### Plot Fitness Landscape

To plot a fitness landscape (2D space), one can use the code below. **Notice, this function only works for continuous SOPs.**

```python3
from PyBenchFCN import Tool
Tool.plot("sphere", savepath="img.svg")         # plot and save landscape of Sphere function
Tool.plot("schwefel", plot_type="contour")      # plot contour plot of Schwefel function
```

## List of Functions

### Classical Single-Objective Optimization

Totally, [61 single-objective functions](./SingleObjectiveProblem.md) are implemented. The plot of 2D versions of 59 problems are provided. Please check the homepage of [BenchmarkFcns Toolbox](http://benchmarkfcns.xyz/) or [this website](https://www.sfu.ca/~ssurjano/optimization.html) for the further documentation.
