      abstract     = {Minion is a high-performance derivative-free optimization
                      library designed for solving complex optimization problems
                      where gradients are unavailable or unreliable. It implements
                      state-of-the-art evolutionary algorithms, including
                      top-performing methods from IEEE CEC competitions, which are
                      often missing in standard optimization libraries such as
                      SciPy, NLopt, OptimLib, pyGMO, and pagmo2.Minion is not only
                      a solver but also a research platform for developing and
                      testing new optimization algorithms. It includes benchmark
                      functions from CEC competitions (2011, 2014, 2017, 2019,
                      2020, and 2022), providing a robust framework for algorithm
                      evaluation and comparison.Features: State-of-the-art
                      optimization algorithms: Implements JADE, L-SHADE, jSO,
                      j2020, NL-SHADE-RSP, LSRTDE, and ARRDE (our novel Adaptive
                      Restart-Refine DE algorithm). Parallelization-ready:
                      Supports vectorized function evaluations, allowing seamless
                      integration with multithreading and multiprocessing for
                      high-performance optimization. Optimized C++ backend with a
                      Python wrapper: Provides high efficiency with an easy-to-use
                      Python API. CEC Benchmark Suite: Includes benchmark problems
                      from 2011, 2014, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2022 for rigorous
                      testing and comparison},
