Book Synopsis Global Optimization by : Marco Locatelli

Download or read book Global Optimization written by Marco Locatelli and published by SIAM. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a thorough overview of the rapidly growing field of global optimization, with chapters on key topics such as complexity, heuristic methods, derivation of lower bounds for minimization problems, and branch-and-bound methods and convergence. The final chapter offers both benchmark test problems and applications of global optimization, such as finding the conformation of a molecule or planning an optimal trajectory for interplanetary space travel. An appendix provides fundamental information on convex and concave functions. Intended for Ph.D. students, researchers, and practitioners looking for advanced solution methods to difficult optimization problems. It can be used as a supplementary text in an advanced graduate-level seminar.
