function f = local ( m, x )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% LOCAL computes the local function.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    This function has a local minimizer:
%
%      X* = ( 0.2858054412..., 0.2793263206...), F(X*) = 5.9225...
%
%    and a global minimizer:
%
%      X* = ( -21.02667179..., -36.75997872...), F(X*) = 0.
%
%    Suggested starting point for local minimizer:
%
%      X = ( 1, 1 ), F(X) = 3.33 * 10^6.
%
%    Suggested starting point for global minimizer:
%
%      X = ( -15, -35), F(X) = 1.49 * 10^8.
