We want to minimize the Easom function of two variables: Simulated Annealing was coded for the Easom Function The function is usually evaluated on the square xi ∈ [-100, 100], for all i = 1, 2 The Easom function is plotted in the below figure for xi ∈ [-10, 10], for all i = 1, 2. This function is similar to a needle-in-a-hay function. The global optimum is restricted in a very small region.
