Three-Hump Camel Function

Description:

Dimensions: 2

The plot on the left shows the three-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 three local minima.

Input Domain:

The function is usually evaluated on the square x_i ∈ [-5, 5], for all i = 1, 2.

Global Minimum:
