Update Branin Function

[Spinachboul]

What Modified?

Branin Function

How Modified?

Added an additional parameter time_step to simulate dynamic changes.
The randn() function adds random noise to the function output at each time step.

Why Modified?

This introduces variability, making the function's landscape more challenging for optimization algorithms.
Also the suitable noise parameter mimics the real world scenario where the objective functions might not be so smooth!

Any additional change, recommendation highly appreciated

Is this supposed to be a tutorial? Benchmark?

[Spinachboul]

Actually it's a way of improving the branin function by including the element of noise_step

@ChrisRackauckas
Thanks for merging my branch with the master branch. Could you tell what all functions do you think can be improved, currently I am working on genetic algorithm

[ChrisRackauckas]

I think GEKPLS would be one to take a look at #362

Sure! I would certainly look into that.
