McCORMICK FUNCTION

Updated: Jul 19, 2021





Mathematical Definition


Input Domain

The McCormick Function is defined on input range [-1.5<x< 4] and [-3<y<3].


Global Minima

The McCormick Function has one global minimum

fx* = -1.9133 at x* = (-0.547, -1.547).


Description and Features


The McCormick Function is defined on two dimensional spaces. This function is used as a test function in order to evaluate the performance of optimization algorithms such as:

  • Convergence rate

  • Precision

  • Robustness

  • General Performance.

The McCormick Function is a

  • Multi-modal

  • Continuous

  • Convex

  • Differentiable
