Abstract: The Griewank test function for global unconstrained optimization has multiple local minima clustered around the global minimum at the origin. A new version of this test function is proposed that has a similar structure, but whose behavior at the local minima and maxima is non-smooth. This piecewise smooth version of the Griewank function represents an abs-factorable test case of objective functions for global non-smooth optimization as, for example, observed in the training of neural networks.
