The yellow dot is the current best point. At each iteration, the poll step of the Mads algorithm randomly generates a maximal positive basis (the black crosses after the spinning). The green poll points are evaluated and the best point is retained.

In case of a success the mesh is coarsened, and in case of failure, the mesh size parameter is refined more aggressively than the poll size parameter. The union of all normalized poll directions grows dense in the unit sphere.
