function f = local_xy ( x , y )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% LOCAL_XY computes the local minimum function.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    This function has a local minimum:
%
%      X* = (  0.28581..., 0.27936...), F(X*) = 5.9225...
%
%    and a global minimum:
%
%      X* = (  -21.026653..., -36.760090...), F(X*) = 0.
%
%    Suggested starting point:
%
%      X = ( 1, 1 ), F(X) = 3.33 * 10^6.
