There have been many test or benchmark functions\nreported in the literature; however, there is no standard list or set of\nbenchmark functions. Ideally, test functions should have diverse properties so\nthat can be truly useful to test new algorithms in an unbiased way. For this\npurpose, we have reviewed and compiled a rich set of 175 benchmark functions\nfor unconstrained optimization problems with diverse properties in terms of\nmodality, separability, and valley landscape. This is by far the most complete\nset of functions so far in the literature, and tt can be expected this complete\nset of functions can be used for validation of new optimization in the future.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1308.4008v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1308.4008v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-literature-survey-of-benchmark-functions","repo_url":"https://github.com/AnHosu/opt-test-functions","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok"}},{"paper_slug":"a-literature-survey-of-benchmark-functions","repo_url":"https://github.com/MaximeRobeyns/OPTK","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"ECL-2.0"}},{"paper_slug":"a-literature-survey-of-benchmark-functions","repo_url":"https://github.com/kvoss/optobench","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"BSD-3-Clause"}},{"paper_slug":"a-literature-survey-of-benchmark-functions","repo_url":"https://github.com/luclaurent/optiGTest","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"GPL-3.0"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"survey","task_name":"Survey"},{"task_slug":"global-optimization","task_name":"global-optimization"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1308.4008","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
