Function used as a performance test problem for optimization algorithms
In mathematical optimization, the Rosenbrock function is a non-convex function, introduced by Howard H. Rosenbrock in 1960, which is used as a performance test problem for optimization algorithms. It is also known as Rosenbrock's valley or Rosenbrock's banana function. The global minimum is inside a long, narrow, parabolic-shaped flat valley. To find the valley is trivial. To converge to the global minimum, however, is difficult. The function is defined by f ( x , y ) = ( a − x ) 2 + b ( y − x 2 ) 2 {\displaystyle f(x,y)=(a-x)^{2}+b(y-x^{2})^{2}} It has a global minimum at ( x , y )...
