STK: a Small (Matlab/Octave) Toolbox for Kriging
 STK_TESTFUN_HARTMAN6 computes the "Hartman6" function

    The Hartman6 function is a test function in dimension 6, which is
    part of the famous Dixon & Szego benchmark [1] in global optimization.

    It is usually minimized over [0, 1]^6.

 HISTORICAL REMARKS

    This function belongs to a general class of test functions
    introduced by Hartman [2], hence the name.

    The particular set of coefficients used in the definition of the
    "Hartman6" function, however, seems to have been introduced by [1].

 GLOBAL MINIMUM

    According to [4], the function has one global minimum at

       x = [0.20169 0.150011 0.476874 0.275332 0.311652 0.657300].

    The corresponding function value is:

       f(x) = -3.322368011391339

    A slightly lower value is attained [5] at

       x = [0.20168952 0.15001069 0.47687398 ...
            0.27533243 0.31165162 0.65730054]

    The corresponding function value is:

       f(x) = -3.322368011415512

    The exact global optimum does not appear to be known.
