Introduction and Ranking Results of the ICSI 2014 Competition on Single Objective Optimization

This technical report includes the introduction and ranking results of the ICSI 2014 Competition on Single Objective Optimization.

💡 Research Summary

The technical report presents the full description and ranking results of the ICSI 2014 Competition on Single‑Objective Optimization. The competition introduced a new benchmark suite, ICSI‑2014‑BS, consisting of 30 test functions: 23 classical single‑objective functions (e.g., Bent Cigar, High‑Conditioned Elliptic, Rosenbrock, Ackley, Griewank, Rastrigin, etc.) that have been shifted, rotated, and scaled to act as black‑box problems, plus 7 newly generated composition functions that combine or nest existing functions with exponential weighting. All functions are defined on the hyper‑cube
