Thank you for answering my question but it is not quite right. Uhmm what i want to know is how to get the number of functuonal evaluation of a function. In the paper if it is f(x) it is n, f'(x) it is n^2 where n is the dimension. But how? Where did that come from?? Thankyou for your answer.

here is the original post, as I think. I have no idea what is being asked here.
