Overview: Global optimization is one of the fastest developing fields inmathematical optimization. In fact, an increasing number of remarkablyefficient deterministic algorithms have been proposed in the last tenyears for solving several classes of large scale specially structuredproblems encountered in such areas as chemical engineering, financialengineering, location and network optimization, production andinventory control, engineering design, computational geometry, andmulti-objective and multi-level optimization. .These new developments motivated the authors to write a new bookdevoted to g
