Schwefel's (sine root) function is highly multimodal and has no global basin of attraction. The optimum at a fitness of f(x*)=0 lies at x*=420.9687. Schwefel's sine root is a tough challenge for any global optimizer due to the multiple distinct optima. Especially, there is a deceptive nearly optimal solution close to x=(-420.9687)<SUP>n</SUP>.
