"Computational Global Optimization in Nonlinear Systems," by János Pintér, presents a concise, practical introduction to models and algorithms that enable the analysis and solution of nonlinear decision problems in the presence of multiple optima. Such problems arise in many areas of engineering, economics and sciences.
This book places a special emphasis upon computational aspects. First, a brief review of frequently used global optimization models and methods is provided, then software development and performance testing issues are highlighted. This is followed by a discussion of several illustrative examples which are based on real-world applications. The LGO integrated modeling and solver system is introduced and used to solve these examples. The corresponding demonstration program files are also made available. A list of references (that mainly consists of recent books and Web sites) is also included.
