Hi Nikolav,
The limits are set only to define the initial sampling of the population.
The optimisation procedure can subsequently move anywhere it likes, which is
handy when the initial bounderies were not chosen properly. If you want to
restrict your search area, i suggested your reparametrise your refineable
variables such that they map from [a,b] to (-infty,+infty)

Hello all,
Having nothing to do with crystallography, I downloaded cctbx only to use the python implementation of the differential evaluation.
I am not knowledgeable about the details of the algorithm so I have to ask this question:
Is it normal to have population members with coordinates outside of the specified limits?
Thanks and regards,
Nikolay Mladenov
