Specification
Alias: None
Arguments: INTEGER
Default: 1000
Description
The maximum number of function evaluations is used as a stopping
criterion for optimizers. If it has not reached any other stopping
criteria first, the optimizer will stop after it has performed
max_function_evalutions
evaluations. See also max_iterations
.
Some optimizers (e.g. ncsu_direct
) may run past this limit in the course
of an iteration step that began before max_function_evaluations
was
exceeded.
Default Behavior
Default value is 1000.
