Description

This popular test problem has several local solutions, local minima
with obj value of 27.87190522 and 52.90257967, and the global minimum
with an obj value of 0.02931083.  Additional programming is done to
test for the correct solution.

We call BARON with the appropriate option to get both solution with one solve.
