12Getting started
13===============
14
15 Example is compiled in binary 'maxfct'. Usage options is described by
16 executing it with command-line argument '-OBusage'. The detailed help can
17 also be obtained with argument '-OBhelp'.

19Objective
20=========
21
22 Find the maximum of the following 5D function (LaTeX syntax):
23 $f(x) = \frac{161.8}{(u_N^2 \sum_{k=0}^{N-1}(x_k^2 + u_k^2))}$
24 with $x = <x_0, x_1, ..., x_{N-1}>$, $u_{k+1} = x_k + u_k$, $x_k$
25 in $[-200,200]$ for all $k$, $N = 5$ and $u_0 = 10$.
26
27Representation
28==============
29
30 Bit strings of 125 bits, constructed from the function's 5 arguments $x_i$,
31 each encoded with 25 bits on the interval $[-200,200]$.
32
33Fitness
34=======
35
36 Value of $f(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4,x_5)$.
