I. Mathematical Expression:

$$f(X)=\left(\sum^n_{i=1} \left|x_i\right|\right)\cdot e^{\displaystyle -\sum^n_{i=1}x^2_i}$$

where:

\(\bullet\) \(-10\leq x_i \leq 10\) , \(i=1,2,\cdots,n\)

\(\bullet\) For \(n=1\):

\( \ \ \ \ \ \ \rhd\) It has two maximum: \(f_{max}(x^*)=0.428881942480354\)

\( \ \ \ \ \ \ \rhd\) \(x^*=\pm 0.707106781903310\) (determined by us using MapleSoft 2015)

\(\bullet\) For \(n=2\):

\( \ \ \ \ \ \ \rhd\) It has four maximum: \(f_{max}(X^*)=\frac{\displaystyle 1}{\displaystyle \sqrt{e^1}}=0.606530659712633\)

\( \ \ \ \ \ \ \rhd\) \(x^*_i=\pm \frac{\displaystyle 1}{\displaystyle 2}\)

\(\bullet\) This function is shown in [1, 2], but it is mistakenly skipped in [3, 4] and other papers in the literature. Actually, it comes before Xin-She Yang's Function No.01 in [1], but because the author said that the last one is his first proposed benchmark function, so this benchmark function is called Xin-She Yang's Function No.02 [5].

\(\bullet\) Although, there is one unique global minima at the origin (i.e., \(f_{min}(X^*)=0 \ @ \ x^*_i=0\)), there are infinite number of almost global minimum with so small errors (maybe less than \(10^{-86}\)). Thus, this function is not recommended to be used for minimization unless inverting it by using \(f_{new}(X)=-f_{old}(X)\) [5].
