Himmelblau Function

Himmelblau is a set of quartic form functions, generally the following is used:
equation983
with tex2html_wrap_inline1473

For which there is a set of known local optima of approximately the same importance:

f(3,2) = 0

f(-3.78, -3.28) = 0.0054

f(-2.81, 3.13) = 0.0085

f(3.58, -1.85) = 0.0011
