I. Mathematical Expression:

$$f(X)=\left(|x_1|-5\right)^2+\left(|x_2|-5\right)^2$$

where:

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

\(\bullet\) It has four global minimum: \(f_{min}(X^*)=0\)

\(\bullet\) \(x^*_i = \pm 5\)

\(\bullet\) There are other side constraints for this function: \(x_i \in [-500,500]\) as in [3] and \(x_i \in [-10^{7},10^{7}]\) as in [4].
