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]]];

        You can find out about things like Optimization`NMinimizeDump`vecs by inspecting the code for Optimization`NMinimizeDump`CoreDE.

        Here's a way:



        Block[f,
        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;
        fit, intermediates =
        Reap[NMinimize[f[x, y], -5 <= x <= 5, -5 <= y <= 5, x, y,
        MaxIterations -> 30,
        Method -> "DifferentialEvolution",
        "InitialPoints" -> Tuples[Range[-5, 5], 2],
        StepMonitor :>
        Sow[Optimization`NMinimizeDump`vecs,
        Optimization`NMinimizeDump`vals]]];
        ]

        Manipulate[
        Graphics[
        PointSize[Medium],
        Point[intermediates[[1, n, 1]],
        VertexColors ->
        ColorData["Rainbow"] /@
        Rescale[intermediates[[1, n, 2]],
        MinMax[intermediates[[1, All, 2]]]]]
        ,
        PlotRange -> 5, Frame -> True],
        n, 1, Length@intermediates[[1]], 1
        ]
