fmin_gen() input arguments overridden

[eladnoor]

The function fmin_gen() seems to ignore the first input argument f which is overridden by a file pointer:

parameter_balancing/standalone_version/misc.py

Line 292 in cb57d51

def fmin_gen(f, x0, population_size=100, survivors=20, generations=20000,

In addition the function fmin_differential_evolution() is defined by never used in the code. Is it a user-facing function?

The function fmin_differential_evolution() was just something that I tried out as an alternative to fmin_gen, so it is not really used, no. Feel free to remove it, we decided on the other function to be better suited for the optimisation.

The input argument puzzles me at the moment. Let me check this.
