LOCAL is a badly scaled function with a local minimum. The local minimum is at roughly X=(0.285,0.279) with F(X)=5.92 while the global minimum is at roughly X=(-21.02,-36.76) with F(X)=0. Because of the nature of this function, minimization algorithms may have a very hard time.

• local_xy.m, defines the function in terms of X and Y.
• local_xy.png, a PNG image created by

  levels_xy ( @local_xy, 50, [-35,20], [-40,15] )
