Xin-She Yang's Function No.07 (or Stochastic Function)

I. Mathematical Expression:

$$f(X)=\sum^n_{i=1}U_i\left|x_i-\frac{\displaystyle 1}{\displaystyle i}\right|$$

where:

$\bullet$ $U_i \ (i=1,2,\cdots,n)$ is a uniform distribution $\rightarrow$ $U_i \sim \text{Unif}[0,1]$

$\bullet$ $-5\leq x_i \leq 5$ , $i=1,2,\cdots,n$

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

$\bullet$ $x^*_i=\frac{\displaystyle 1}{\displaystyle i}$

$\bullet$ This function is firstly given in [1]. Based on the previously mentioned benchmark functions and the historical timeline of their appearance, the suitable name for this function is Xin-She Yang's Function No.07 [2].
