Global optimization concerns the computation and characterization
of global optima of nonlinear functions. Such problems are
widespread in the mathematical modelling of real systems in a very
wide range of applications and the last 30 years have seen the
development of many new theoretical, algorithmic and computational
contributions which have helped to solve globally multiextreme
problems in important practical applications. Most of the existing
books on optimization focus on the problem of computing locally
optimal solutions. Introduction to Global Optimization, however, is
a comprehensive textbook on constrained global optimization that
covers the fundamentals of the subject, presenting much new
material, including algorithms, applications and complexity results
for quadratic programming, concave minimization, DC and Lipschitz
problems, and nonlinear network flow. Each chapter contains
illustrative examples and ends with carefully selected exercises,
designed to help students grasp the material and enhance their
knowledge of the methods involved. Audience: Students of
mathematical programming, and all scientists, from whatever
discipline, who need global optimization methods in such diverse
areas as economic modelling, fixed charges, finance, networks and
transportation, databases, chip design, image processing, nuclear
and mechanical design, chemical engineering design and control,
molecular biology, and environmental engineering.
