__init__(params: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None) → None¶ Initialization method.
Parameters: params – Contains key-value parameters to the meta-heuristics.
-
E_min¶ Minimum substrate energy.
-
E_max¶ Maximum substrate energy.
-
theta_min¶ Minimum contact angle.
-
theta_max¶ Maximum contact angle.

_evaporation_flux(theta: float) → float¶ Calculates the evaporation flux (eq. 7).
Parameters: theta – Radian-based angle. Returns: Evaporation flux. Return type: (float)

update(space: opytimizer.core.space.Space, function: opytimizer.core.function.Function, iteration: int, n_iterations: int) → None¶ Wraps Water Evaporation Optimization 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.
- iteration – Current iteration.
- n_iterations – Maximum number of iterations.
