The Ackley test case
====================
Introduction
------------
The Ackley test case is a real function defined in dimension :math:`d` where :math:`d` is an integer.
The Ackley function is defined by the equation:
.. math::
f(\mathbf{x}) = -a \exp\left(-b\sqrt{\frac{1}{d}\sum_{i=1}^d}x_i^2\right)-\exp\left(\frac{1}{d}\sum_{i=1}^d \cos(c x_i)\right)+a+\exp(1)
for any :math:`\mathbf{x} \in [-15,15]^d`. However, we consider the smaller interval :math:`[-4,4]^d` in this example, for visual purposes.
We use the dimension :math:`d=2` with the parameters :math:`a=20`, :math:`b=0.2`, :math:`c=2\pi`.
The solution is
.. math::
\mathbf{x}^\star=(0,0,...,0)
where
.. math::
f_{min} = f(\mathbf{x}^\star) = 0.
