I. Mathematical Expression:

$$f(X)=10^mx^2_1+x^2_2-\left(x^2_1+x^2_2\right)^2+10^{-m}\left(x^2_1+x^2_2\right)^4$$

where:

\(\bullet\) \(x_{min}\leq x_i\leq x_{max}\) , \(i=1,2\)

\(\bullet\) It has two global minimum as:

\(\bullet\) For \(m=1:\) \(\left[x_{min},x_{max}\right]=[-2,2]\), \(f_{min}(X^*)=-4.07461605632581\times10^{-1}\), \(x^*_i=\left(0,\pm1.386952327146511\right)\)

\(\bullet\) For \(m=2:\) \(\left[x_{min},x_{max}\right]=[-4,4]\), \(f_{min}(X^*)=-1.8058696657349238\times10^{1}\), \(x^*_i=\left(0,\pm2.608906424592038\right)\)

\(\bullet\) For \(m=3:\) \(\left[x_{min},x_{max}\right]=[-8,8]\), \(f_{min}(X^*)=-2.277657499670953\times10^{2}\), \(x^*_i=\left(0,\pm4.701739810796703\right)\)
