Advances in Stochastic and Deterministic Global Optimization

Current research results in stochastic and deterministic global optimization are presented in this volume from leading specialists. Graduate students, researchers, and scientist in computer science, numerical analysis, optimization and applied mathematics will find the theoretical, computational and application aspects of stochastic and deterministic global optimization explored in this book captivating. The volume is dedicated to the 70th birthday of Professor Antanas Zilinskas who is a world leading expert in global optimization. Professor Zilinskas's research concentrates on studying models for the objective function, the development and implementation of efficient algorithms for global optimization, and theoretical investigations for applying algorithms for solving real-world practical problems.?
