LSEvaluationPoint Class

class LSEvaluationPoint

An evaluation point associated with an external function with surrogate modeling.

Evaluation points are used to specify known points for a function in advance. It can be useful to warm-start the solver when the function is particularly expensive to evaluate, or if you already have a good estimate of the optimal point.

Note: This information is used by the solver to drive the solution process. You must be careful about the data you provide: if an incorrect value is given, the solver may have an unexpected behavior.
