Synopsis
Thisbook presents state-of-the-art results and methodologies in modern globaloptimization, and has been a staple reference for researchers, engineers, advancedstudents (also in applied mathematics), and practitioners in various fields ofengineering. The second edition has been brought up to date and continues todevelop a coherent and rigorous theory of deterministic global optimization,highlighting the essential role of convex analysis. The text has been revisedand expanded to meet the needs of research, education, and applications for manyyears to come. Updates forthis new edition include: #65533; Discussion of modern approaches to minimax, fixed point, andequilibrium theorems, and to nonconvex optimization; #65533; Increased focus on dealing more efficiently with ill-posedproblems of global optimization, particularly those with hard constraints; #65533; Important discussions of decomposition methods for speciallystructured problems; #65533; A complete revision of the chapter on nonconvex quadraticprogramming, in order to encompass the advances made in quadratic optimizationsince publication of the first edition. #65533; Additionally, this new edition contains entirely new chaptersdevoted to monotonic optimization, polynomial optimization and optimization underequilibrium constraints, including bilevel programming, multiobjectiveprogramming, and optimization with variational inequality constraint. From thereviews of the first edition: The book gives a good review of the topic. . . . The text iscarefully constructed and well written, the exposition is clear. It leaves aremarkable impression of the concepts, tools and techniques in globaloptimization. It might also be used as a basis and guideline for lectures onthis subject. Students as well as professionals will profitably read and useit. --Mathematical Methods of OperationsResearch, 49:3 (1999)
