__init__(params: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None) → None

Initialization method.

Parameters:params – Contains key-value parameters to the meta-heuristics.

update(space: opytimizer.core.space.Space, function: opytimizer.core.function.Function) → None

Wraps Passing Vehicle Search over all agents and variables.

Parameters:

• space – Space containing agents and update-related information.
• function – A Function object that will be used as the objective function.
