F07: Quartic Function with Noise (F07)

Description

A unimodal test function with quartic terms and added uniform random noise. The noise makes this a stochastic function, useful for testing robustness.

Usage

F07(x)

Value

Numeric scalar representing the function value.

Arguments

x

Numeric vector of input values.

Details

Formula: $$f(x) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} i \cdot x_i^4 + \text{random}[0,1)$$

Global minimum: \(f(0, 0, ..., 0) \approx 0\) (stochastic, depends on noise)

Characteristics:

• Type: Unimodal (with noise)

• Separable: Yes (deterministic part)

• Differentiable: Yes

• Stochastic: Yes (random noise added)

• Default bounds: \([-1.28, 1.28]^n\)

• Default dimensions: 50

The random noise component makes function evaluations non-deterministic, testing an algorithm's ability to handle noisy objective functions.

Examples

F07(c(0, 0, 0))  # Returns a value close to 0 (with some noise)
# Multiple calls may return different values due to noise:
replicate(5, F07(c(0, 0, 0)))
