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
Ackley	M	Ackley()
Forrester et al. (2008)	1	Forrester2008()
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:

import uqtestfuns as uqtf

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

No.	Constructor	# Input	# Output	Param.	Description
1	Ackley()	M	1	True	Optimization test function from Ackley (1987)
2	Forrester2008()	1	1	False	One-dimensional function from Forrester et al. (2008)
3	Rosenbrock()	M	1	True	Optimization test function from Rosenbrock (1960), also known as the banana function
