Class Damavandi

java.lang.Object
  net.sourceforge.cilib.functions.Function
      net.sourceforge.cilib.functions.ContinuousFunction
          net.sourceforge.cilib.functions.continuous.unconstrained.Damavandi

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class Damavandi
extends ContinuousFunction

The Damavandi function obtained from N. Damavandi, S. Safavi-Naeini, "A hybrid evolutionary programming method for circuit optimization".

Global Minimum: f(x,y) = 0; (x,y) = (2, 2) Note that if (x,y) = (2,2), then the function results in division by 0 Local Minimum: f(x,y) = 2; (x,y) = (7, 7)

Characteristics:

• Multimodal
• Non-separanle
• Deceptive

Constructor Detail

Damavandi

public Damavandi()

Create a new instance of Damavandi. Default domain is defined to be R(0, 12)^2.

Method Detail

getClone

public Damavandi getClone()

Create a cloned copy of the current object and return it. In general the created copy will be a deep copy of the provided instance. As a result this operation an be quite expensive if used incorrectly.

Specified by:

getClone in interface Cloneable

Specified by:

getClone in class ContinuousFunction

Returns:

An exact clone of the current object instance.

See Also:

Object.clone()

getMinimum

public Object getMinimum()

Get the minimum of the function. It is defined to be a value of 0.0.

Overrides:

getMinimum in class ContinuousFunction

Returns:

The minimum function value.

evaluate

public double evaluate(Vector x)

Evaluate the function with the given Vector as input.

Specified by:

evaluate in class ContinuousFunction

Parameters:

x - The input Vector.

Returns:

The value of the evaluation.
