GOFEE

GOFEE builds all operators from scratch because the implementation in ase.ga is more time consuming

Candidate Generator

CrossOver acts on both parents while Mutation is only valid on parents[0].

get_structure_pair() in gofee.population is defined as:

def get_structure_pair(self):
    t1, t2 = np.random.permutation(len(self.pop))[:2]
    structure_pair = [self.pop[t1].copy(), self.pop[t2].copy()]
    return structure_pair

A possible solution to get rid of the case where the population only has one structure is that

def get_structure_pair(self):
    try:
        t1, t2 = np.random.permutation(len(self.pop))[:2]
    except ValueError:
        t1 = 0
        t2 = 0
        print('len(self.pop): {}'.format(len(self.pop)))
        print(self.pop)
    structure_pair = [self.pop[t1].copy(), self.pop[t2].copy()]
    return structure_pair
