display_all_evaluations

Shows mesh adaptive search's internally held list of all evaluations

## Specification

Alias: none

Argument(s): none

Default: false

## Description

If set, `display_all_evaluations` will instruct the mesh adaptive direct search method to print out its own record of all evaluations. The information reported may be controlled using display_format.

Default Behavior

By default, mesh adaptive direct search does not report information on all evaluations, only on those for which an improvement in the objective function is found.

Expected Outputs

The information specified by `display_format` will be reported to the screen for every function evaluation.

Usage Tips

This will most likely only be useful for power users who want to understand and/or report more detailed information on method behavior.

## Examples

The following example shows the syntax for specifying `display_all_evaluations`.

    method
      mesh_adaptive_search
        display_all_evaluations
        max_function evaluations=20
        seed = 1234

Note that the output below reports information (default for `display_format`) for all function evaluations.

    MADS run {

        BBE OBJ

         1  17.0625000000
         2  1.0625000000
         3  1297.0625000000
         4  257.0625000000
         5  81.0625000000
         6  151.0625000000
         7  1051.0625000000
         8  40.0625000000
         9  17.0625000000
        10  40.0625000000
        11  1.0625000000
        12  102.0625000000
        13  0.0625000000
        14  231.0625000000
        15  16.0625000000
        16  5.0625000000
        17  16.0625000000
        18  71.0625000000
        19  0.0625000000
        20  1.0625000000

    } end of run (max number of blackbox evaluations)

    blackbox evaluations                     : 20
    best feasible solution                   : ( 1 0.5 1 ) h=0 f=0.0625

That is in contrast with what would be reported by default.

    MADS run {

        BBE OBJ

         1  17.0625000000
         2  1.0625000000
        13  0.0625000000
        20  0.0625000000

    } end of run (max number of blackbox evaluations)

    blackbox evaluations                     : 20
    best feasible solution                   : ( 1 0.5 1 ) h=0 f=0.0625
