cxSimulatedBinaryBounded generating complex numbers #566
Description
I am getting the following error in cxSimulatedBinaryBounded in crossover.py (note I've added debug print statements in so the line numbers are different from a vanilla crossover.py):
~\anaconda3\envs\tf_gpu\lib\site-packages\deap\tools\crossover.py in cxSimulatedBinaryBounded(ind1, ind2, eta, low, up)
363 print(f'c2={c2}, xl={xl}, xu={xu}')
364 c1 = min(max(c1, xl), xu)
--> 365 c2 = min(max(c2, xl), xu)
366
367 if random.random() <= 0.5:
TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'float' and 'complex'
I have added some logging to this function in order to determine why I am getting this error:
def cxSimulatedBinaryBounded(ind1, ind2, eta, low, up):
"""Executes a simulated binary crossover that modify in-place the input
individuals. The simulated binary crossover expects :term:`sequence`
individuals of floating point numbers.
:param ind1: The first individual participating in the crossover.
:param ind2: The second individual participating in the crossover.
:param eta: Crowding degree of the crossover. A high eta will produce
children resembling to their parents, while a small eta will
produce solutions much more different.
:param low: A value or a :term:`python:sequence` of values that is the lower
bound of the search space.
:param up: A value or a :term:`python:sequence` of values that is the upper
bound of the search space.
:returns: A tuple of two individuals.
This function uses the :func:`~random.random` function from the python base
:mod:`random` module.
.. note::
This implementation is similar to the one implemented in the
original NSGA-II C code presented by Deb.

Why is this?
