Continuous optimization is the study of problems in which we wish
to opti mize (either maximize or minimize) a continuous function
(usually of several variables) often subject to a collection of
restrictions on these variables. It has its foundation in the
development of calculus by Newton and Leibniz in the 17* DEGREES
century. Nowadys, continuous optimization problems are widespread
in the mathematical modelling of real world systems for a very
broad range of applications. Solution methods for large
multivariable constrained continuous optimiza tion problems using
computers began with the work of Dantzig in the late 1940s on the
simplex method for linear programming problems. Recent re search in
continuous optimization has produced a variety of theoretical devel
opments, solution methods and new areas of applications. It is
impossible to give a full account of the current trends and modern
applications of contin uous optimization. It is our intention to
present a number of topics in order to show the spectrum of current
research activities and the development of numerical methods and
applications."
