Some comments for RGA - tests

NB!  All of functions are considered as black boxes: no use of their analytical forms, functions just return their values (when corrupted with noise, the first and second moments  are assumed known ) in the points of calls.

The OF,  chosen  for the first and second examples,  belongs to a  family of 2D analytical functions with 7 random  parameters  and is defined in a region [ 0. : 1. ] x [ 0. : 1. ].

A few standard test-functions and the results of related RGA -runs.

A few non-standard ("near-real") functions.

  • "Multibanana function" (inverse Helmholtz).  The very sharp global  optimum is inside one of long, narrow,  hyperbolic shaped  flat valleys.
  • Protein folding: microcluster of N identical atoms interacting via the Lennard-Jones potential;  N=8 and  the optimization problem of the  the dimension   (3N - 6) = 18   has multiple local -  and global minima  due to permutation symmetry of the OF.

    * Remark:
    2D-region is  chosen on these pages mostly because of a problem of visualization.  RGA-algorithm has been applied  to solving the  classical  1D-wave equation with  the  OFs  defined in 20D-regions.  Sure, while dealing with multidimensional spaces  the relevant  reduction of   a number  of  necessary  OF- calls  is much more impressive.
