Abstract
We present a procedure of practical use for representing functions of several variables as superpositions of functions of only one variable. We show how the procedure works when applied, for example, to the location of global minima. Our numerical examples are restricted here, for simplicity, to functions of two variables. The straightforward extension to functions of more variables will be discussed elsewhere.Keywords
