Can you tell me where i can learn about Ackley function ?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
The Ackley function is a mathematical function used in optimization and computational intelligence. It is often used as a benchmark function to test the performance of optimization algorithms.
The Ackley function is used to evaluate the performance of optimization algorithms in finding the global minimum. It is a non-convex function with many local minima, making it a challenging problem for optimization algorithms.
The Ackley function is defined as f(x) = -20 * exp(-0.2 * sqrt(0.5 * (x1^2 + x2^2))) - exp(0.5 * (cos(2 * pi * x1) + cos(2 * pi * x2))) + 20 + exp(1).
The Ackley function has a bowl-shaped curve with many local minima and one global minimum. It is symmetric about the origin and has a value of 0 at the global minimum.
The Ackley function is often used as a benchmark function to test the performance of optimization algorithms. By finding the global minimum of the Ackley function, algorithms can demonstrate their ability to handle non-convex and multi-modal functions. It is also used in parameter tuning and sensitivity analysis in machine learning and computational intelligence.
