The MAXQUAD Test Function
Lemarechal's MAXQUAD optimization test function.
maxquad(n, m)
n |
number of variables of the generated test function. |
m |
number of functions to compete for the maximum. |
MAXQUAD actually is a family of minimax functions, parametrized by the
number n of variables and the number m of functions whose
maximum it is.
Returns a list with components fn the generated test function of
n variables, and gr the corresponding (analytical) gradient
function.
