Fujiyama landscape

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, a Fujiyama landscape describes a landscape of values with exactly one local maximum .

That means among other things:

  • There is exactly one global maximum in this landscape.
  • The hill climbing ( hill climbing ) is working on this landscape forever.
  • You only need a single individual for such a mountaineering algorithm.

Many efficient mathematical methods exist for the optimization problem of finding a global maximum for this landscape . Accordingly, such an optimization problem is considered to be comparatively simple.
