I. Mathematical Expression:
$$f(X)=\sum^n_{i=1}\left \lfloor \left|x_i\right| \right \rfloor$$
where:
\(\bullet\) \(-100\leq x_i\leq 100\) , \(i=1,2,\cdots,n\)
\(\bullet\) Infinite number of global minimum: \(f_{min}(X^*)=0\)
\(\bullet\) \(-1 < x^*_i < 1\) \(\rightarrow\) i.e., \(x^*_i \in (-1,1)\)
