Problems with scipy's optimize

I have a random bug with scipy's optimize . I use it in the context of SageMath 9 (Python 3.7.3). I checked 3 algorithms : shgo, dual_annealing and full_optimize. All don't work well (at all !).

I optimise with a 3 parameters functions with given bounds. The algorithm randomly sends to my error function the "1e-8" value for any of the 3 parameters. I displayed the vector + error to understand it. AS you can see, in this case, the first parameter is 1e-8 whereas it is outside the bounds. Sometimes it happens for the second parameter, or the 3rd ....

The behaviour is the same for all of them. However the value inserted is not always the same, I noticed 3 : 1e-10, 1e-8 and 1.49011612e-08

Moreover, all do not send nice values. For example, the full_optimize always send values close to the highest bound. Perhaps are the value computed with a simple linear average and I guess it should not be the case.

my bounds are :

bounds = [(1*e,4*e),(0.1*e,0.5*e),(1e5,1e40)]

with e=1.6e-19

Is there an alternative for optimization in sagemath ?
