Test problems
Ackley function
The Ackley function is a non-convex function used as a performance test problem for optimization algorithms. It was proposed by David Ackley in his 1987 PhD dissertation[2].
On a 2-dimensional domain it is defined by:
- [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} f(x,y) = -20&{}\exp\left[-0.2\sqrt{0.5(x^2+y^2)}\,\right] \\ & {} -\exp\left[0.5\left(\cos 2\pi x + \cos 2\pi y \right)\right] + e + 20 \end{align} }[/math][3]
Its global optimum point is
- [math]\displaystyle{ f(0,0) = 0. }[/math]
Beale problem
Finding the minimum of the Beale function[4].
- Parameters: 2
- Objective functions: 1
[math]\displaystyle{ f(x,y)=(1.5-x(1-y))^2+(2.25-x(1-y^2))^2+(2.625-x(1-y^3))^2 }[/math]
Global minimum: f(3, 0.5) = 0
