Drop-Wave Function

Description:

Dimensions: 2

The Drop-Wave function is multimodal and highly complex. The second plot above shows the function on a smaller input domain, to illustrate its characteristic features.

Input Domain:

The function is usually evaluated on the square x_i ∈ [-5.12, 5.12], for all i = 1, 2.

Global Minimum:
