Using several initial Guesses in Optimization function

Multi tool use

A project I am currently working on requires an optimization with regards to a function.



In order to make the optimization process more reliable in terms of finding the global minimum, I would like to use several initial guesses for each variable that I can specify beforehand.



In the following I randomized the lists of initial guesses (ipp_term, ipp_ci, i_risky_w) for demonstrating the lists of initial guesses.
Theses lists I would like to input as seeds (line 13) then.



upper_term = max(term)
upper_ci = max(ci)

ipp_term = np.random.uniform(0,upper_term,30)
ipp_ci = np.random.uniform(0,upper_ci,30)
i_risky_w = np.random.uniform(0,1,30)

bds = [(0,1), (0,upper_term), (0,upper_ci)]

scipy.optimize.differential_evolution(
optInsInv_opt, bounds = bds, strategy='best1bin', maxiter=None,
popsize=1, tol=0.00001, mutation=(0.5, 1), recombination=0.7,

**seed=[i_risky_w, ipp_term, ipp_ci, i_risky_w],**

callback=None, disp=True, polish=True, init='latinhypercube')


From the documentation I understand that there are two methods for initializing the populated parameters, but from my understanding they are also randomly generated!?



Does anyone know how to alter the scipy.optimize.differential_evolution package so that I can use my own lists of initial guesses or can tell me another library with similiar algorithm that can do that?



Thanks for your help!
