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

20Objective
21=========
22
23 Find the maximum of the following 5D function (LaTeX syntax):
24 $f(x) = \frac{161.8}{(u_N^2 \sum_{k=0}^{N-1}(x_k^2 + u_k^2))}$
25 with $x = <x_0, x_1, ..., x_{N-1}>$, $u_{k+1} = x_k + u_k$, $x_k$
26 in $[-200,200]$ for all $k$, $N = 5$ and $u_0 = 10$.
27
28Representation
29==============
30
31 Vector of five ES pairs, each pair being an association of a value
32 and a mutation strategy parameter. The values represents the function's
33 five arguments \f$x_i\f$. They are limited in the interval
34 \f$[-200,200]\f$ at the evaluation time.
35
36Fitness
37=======
38
39 Value of $f(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4,x_5)$.
