Such problems arise in many areas of engineering, economics and sciences.<br> <img src="../books/art/cleardot.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="8" border="0"><br> 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. <br> <img src="../books/art/cleardot.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="8" border="0"><br> <a href="../books/com-sample1.html"><b>Click here to read the preface of "Computational Global Optimization in Nonlinear Systems  An Interactive Tutorial"</b></a><br> <img src="../books/art/cleardot.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="8" border="0"><br> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" bgcolor="#CECECE"> <tr> <td><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size="2"><b>About the Author:</b><br> <img src="../books/art/cleardot.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="4" border="0"><br> János D. Pintér is a research scientist and president of Pintér Consulting Services, Inc. as well as adjunct professor at Dalhousie University, both in Halifax, NS, Canada. He was born in Budapest, Hungary. He holds a M.Sc. degree in Applied Mathematics from the University of Sciences (Eötvös University, Budapest, 1973), a Ph.D. in Operations Research/Applied Probability from Moscow State University (Moscow, 1982), and a D.Sc. in Mathematics from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Budapest, 1999).<br> <img src="../books/art/cleardot.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="8" border="0"><br> Dr. Pintér's research interests include nonlinear optimization, integrated decision support systems development and a broad range of applications. He has written three books (including the present work), more than 130 research articles and technical reports, and has been editor, technical editor of and contributing author to several books. He is author of "Global Optimization in Action" (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996), winner of the 2000 INFORMS Computing Society Prize for Research Excellence, and developer of the professional LGO software for global/nonlinear optimization. <br> <img src="../books/art/cleardot.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="4" border="0"></td> </tr> </table> <br> <dl> <dt><b>Table of Contents</b><br> <dt><b>Preface</b> <dt><b>Acknowledgments</b> <dt><b>1.</b> The Relevance of Global Optimization <dt><b>2.</b> Model Types <dt><b>3.</b> Solution Approaches <dt><b>4.</b> Software Development and Testing <dt><b>5.</b> The LGO Model Development and Solver System <dt><b>6.</b> Illustrative Applications <dt><b>7.</b> Concluding Remarks <dt><b>References</b> <dt><b>Appendix 1.</b> Sample LGO Files <dt><b>Appendix 2.</b> Installation and Use of the Demonstration Programs </dl> <br> <img src="../books/art/cleardot.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="8" border="0"><br> <a name="order"></a> <font face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size="3"><b>Ordering:</b><br></font> <b>1.</b> If you would like to order print copies of this book or order more than one title as a PDF file go to the <a href="../forms/ebooksorder2.html" target="_top">e-books shopping cart form</a>. <br> <img src="../books/art/cleardot.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="4" border="0"><br> <b>2.</b> If you would like to order a PDF of <b>Computational Global Optimization in Nonlinear Systems An Interactive Tutorial</b> only, click here for credit card payments<br> <img src="../books/art/cleardot.gif" width="1" height="1" vspace="4" border="0"><br> <b>PLEASE NOTE:</b> Ordering single PDFs is more expediant than ordering mutiple titles at once.
