+            1. Instance of the `scipy.Bounds` class.
+            2. Sequence of ``(min, max)`` pairs for each element in `x`. None
+               is used to specify no bound.
+    x0 : ndarray, shape (n,)
+        Initial guess. Array of real elements of size (n,),

+        If not workers is None, function evaluation is performed in parallel for the whole population.

+        decide when to terminate. 
+    rg = numpy.random.Generator, optional
+        Random generator for creating random guesses.
+    runid : int, optional
