Description
The final_solutions
controls the number of final solutions
returned by the iterator as the best solutions.
For most optimizers, this is one, but some optimizers can produce multiple solutions (e.g. genetic algorithms).
When using a hybrid
strategy, the number of final
solutions dictates how many solutions are passed from
one method to another.
Examples
In the case of sampling methods, if one
specifies 100 samples (for example) but also specifies
final_solutions
= 5, the five best solutions (in
order of lowest response function value) are returned.
