Optimization problems abound in most fields of science, engineering, and tech nology. In many of these problems it is necessary to compute the global optimum (o
Due to the general complementary convex structure underlying most nonconvex optimization problems encountered in applications, convex analysis plays an essentia
Global Optimization has emerged as one of the most exciting new areas of mathematical programming. Global optimization has received a wide attraction from many
The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Algorithms for continuous optimiza tion: the state of the art" was held September 5-18, 1993, at II Ciocco, Barga, Italy.
The research of Antanas Zilinskas has focused on developing models for global optimization, implementing and investigating the corresponding algorithms, and app
