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. It was attended by 75 students (among
them many well known specialists in optimiza tion) from the
following countries: Belgium, Brasil, Canada, China, Czech
Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland,
Portugal, Rumania, Spain, Turkey, UK, USA, Venezuela. The lectures
were given by 17 well known specialists in the field, from Brasil,
China, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, UK, USA. Solving
continuous optimization problems is a fundamental task in
computational mathematics for applications in areas of engineering,
economics, chemistry, biology and so on. Most real problems are
nonlinear and can be of quite large size. Devel oping efficient
algorithms for continuous optimization has been an important field
of research in the last 30 years, with much additional impetus
provided in the last decade by the availability of very fast and
parallel computers. Techniques, like the simplex method, that were
already considered fully developed thirty years ago have been
thoroughly revised and enormously improved. The aim of this ASI was
to present the state of the art in this field. While not all
important aspects could be covered in the fifty hours of lectures
(for instance multiob jective optimization had to be skipped), we
believe that most important topics were presented, many of them by
scientists who greatly contributed to their development.
