# Test Functions for Optimization

The table below listed the available test functions typically used
in the comparison of global optimization methods.

|                           Name                            | Input Dimension |    Constructor    |
|:---------------------------------------------------------:|:---------------:|:-----------------:|
|           {ref}`Ackley <test-functions:ackley>`           |        M        |    `Ackley()`     |
| {ref}`Forrester et al. (2008) <test-functions:forrester>` |        1        | `Forrester2008()` |
|       {ref}`Rosenbrock <test-functions:rosenbrock>`       |        M        |  `Rosenbrock()`   |

In a Python terminal, you can list all the available functions relevant
for optimization applications using ``list_functions()`` and filter the results
using the ``tag`` parameter:

```{code-cell} ipython3
:tags: ["output_scroll"]

import uqtestfuns as uqtf

uqtf.list_functions(tag="optimization", tablefmt="html")
```
