Series Statement:
Nonconvex optimization and its applications 3
Content:
Most of the existing books in optimization focus on the problem of computing locally optimal solutions. Global optimization is concerned with the computation and characterization of global optima of nonlinear functions. Global optimization problems are widespread in the mathematical modeling of real world systems for a very broad range of applications. During the past three decades many new theoretical, algorithmic, and computational contributions helped to solve globally multiextreme problems arising from important practical applications
Content:
Introduction to Global Optimization is a comprehensive textbook that covers the fundamentals in global optimization and presents much new material. The book includes algorithms, applications, and complexity results for quadratic programming, concave minimization, DC and Lipschitz problems, and nonlinear network flow problems. Each chapter contains illustrative examples and ends with carefully selected exercises which are designed to help the student to get a grasp of the material and enhance his knowledge of global optimization methods. The textbook is addressed not only to students of mathematical programming, but to all scientists in various disciplines who need global optimization methods to model and solve problems
