I. Mathematical Expression:

$$f(X)=\frac{1}{4000}\sum_{i=1}^{n}x^2_i-\prod_{i=1}^{n}\cos\left(\frac{x_i}{\sqrt{i}}\right)+1$$

where:

\(\bullet\) \(-600\leq x_i\leq 600\) , \(i=1,2,\cdots,n\)

\(\bullet\) \(f_{min}(X^*)=0\)

\(\bullet\) \(x^*_i =0\)

\(\bullet\) The original reference [1] considers different starting points for the traditional optimization techniques. Today, in the literature, many references generalized this function with variable bounds of \(X \in [-600,600]\). However, some other references consider different side constraints, like \(X \in [-100,100]\) as in [7].
