Hi, I am using the global optimization method "DifferentialEvolution" and "SimulatedAnnealing" of NMinimize. Unfortunately, even the "Advanced Documentation" is rather scarce and does not explain every option you have to adapt those methods to your problem. Is there more information on these options around or more examples? Specifically I would like to learn more about the options "PenaltyFuntion", "PostProcess" and "PerturbationScale". Another question is whether I can specify just a subset of "SearchPoints" by "InitalPoints"? best, joerg
