Langermann Function


Description:

Dimensions: d

The Langermann function is multimodal, with many unevenly distributed local minima. The recommended values of m, c and A, as given by Molga & Smutnicki (2005) are (for d = 2): m = 5, c = (1, 2, 5, 2, 3) and:

Input Domain:

The function is usually evaluated on the hypercube xi ∈ [0, 10], for all i = 1, …, d.
