The function is usually evaluated on the square x i ∈ [-65.536, 65.536], for all i = 1, 2. Molga, M., & Smutnicki, C. Test functions for optimization needs (2005 ...

The Rosenbrock function, also referred to as the Valley or Banana function, is a popular test problem for gradient-based optimization algorithms. It is shown in the plot above in its two-dimensional ...

A new proof reveals the answer to the decades-old “moving sofa” problem. It highlights how even the simplest optimization problems can have counterintuitive answers. If you’ve ever moved into a new ...
