Mathematical Programming has been of significant interest and
relevance in engineering, an area that is very rich in challenging
optimization problems. In particular, many design and operational
problems give rise to nonlinear and mixed-integer nonlinear
optimization problems whose modeling and solu tion is often
nontrivial. Furthermore, with the increased computational power and
development of advanced analysis (e. g. , process simulators,
finite element packages) and modeling systems (e. g. , GAMS, AMPL,
SPEEDUP, ASCEND, gPROMS), the size and complexity of engineering
optimization models is rapidly increasing. While the application of
efficient local solvers (nonlinear program ming algorithms) has
become widespread, a major limitation is that there is often no
guarantee that the solutions that are generated correspond to
global optima. In some cases finding a local solution might be
adequate, but in others it might mean incurring a significant cost
penalty, or even worse, getting an incorrect solution to a physical
problem. Thus, the need for finding global optima in engineering is
a very real one. It is the purpose of this monograph to present
recent developments of tech niques and applications of
deterministic approaches to global optimization in engineering. The
present monograph is heavily represented by chemical engi neers;
and to a large extent this is no accident. The reason is that
mathematical programming is an active and vibrant area of research
in chemical engineering. This trend has existed for about 15 years.
