Six-Hump Camel Function

Description:

Dimensions: 2

The plot on the left shows the six-hump Camel function on its recommended input domain, and the plot on the right shows only a portion of this domain, to allow for easier viewing of the function's key characteristics. The function has six local minima, two of which are global.

Input Domain:

The function is usually evaluated on the rectangle x₁ ∈ [-3, 3], x₂ ∈ [-2, 2].

Global Minimum:
