test functions for global optimizers

holdertable(X)
function varargout = holdertable(X)
% Holder table function
%
%   HOLDERTABLE([x1, x2]) returns the value of the Holder table
%   function at the specified points. [x1] and [x2] may be vectors.
%   The search domain is
%
%               -10 < x_i < 10
%
%   The four global minima are near the edges of the interval, and have a
%   function value of 
%
%       f(x*) = -1.92085026.
