Function

A minimization problem:

$$f(x_1 \cdots x_n) = \sum_{i=1}^n (-x_i sin(\sqrt{|x_i|})) + \alpha \cdot n$$

$$\alpha = 418.982887$$

$$-512 \leq x_i \leq 512$$

$$\text{minimum at }f(420.968746, 420.968746, \cdots, 420.968746) = 0$$

Python

def fitnessFunc(self, chromosome):
	"""F7 Schwefel's function
	multimodal, asymmetric, separable"""
	alpha = 418.982887
	fitness = 0
	for i in range(len(chromosome)):
		fitness -= chromosome[i]*math.sin(math.sqrt(math.fabs(chromosome[i])))
	return float(fitness) + alpha*len(chromosome)
