Function used as a performance test problem for optimization algorithms
A Shekel function in 2 dimensions and with 10 maxima
The Shekel function or also Shekel's foxholes is a multidimensional, multimodal, continuous, deterministic function commonly used as a test function for testing optimization techniques.[1]
The mathematical form of a function in dimensions with maxima is:
