Essays and Surveys in Global Optimization provides a comprehensive analysis of global optimization, addressing the solution of complex problems in deterministic mathematical programming. The book discusses the search for the global optimum of nonlinear, nonconvex, multivariate functions that include both continuous and integer variables. It also addresses the challenges associated with the optimality verification of the solutions found. This methodology is becoming increasingly important in various fields of science. The collection of essays and surveys in this book showcases the mathematical capabilities and extensive solutions of global optimization, offering valuable insights for professionals and students in the fields of economics and law.
