function demo3
%DEMO3  Demo for usage of DIFFERENTIALEVOLUTION.
%    DEMO3 starts searching the minimum of Shekel's Foxholes as a demo. This
%    demo is similar to DEMO2 except that it uses a function to check
%    parameter vectors for validity. Modify this function for your first
%    optimization.

paramDefCell = {'', [-65 65; -65 65], [0; 0], [0; -30]};
% (single vector-valued parameter with no name, as function foxholes is
% called with a parameter vector as only input) 

% no additional function parameters needed

% no parameter vector needed

% get default DE parameters
DEParams = getdefaultparams;

% set number of population members (often 10*D is suggested; here we use
% more as we know that the Foxholes functions has many local minima).

% do not use slave processes here

% use a subfunction to check parameter vectors for validity
