Overview
This book treats the subject of global optimization with minimal restrictions on the behavior on the objective functions. In particular, optimal conditions were developed for a class of noncontinuous functions characterized by their having level sets that are robust. The integration-based approach contrasts with existing approaches which require some degree of convexity or differentiability of the objective function. Some computational results on a personal computer are presented.The book, Integral Global Optimization: Theory, Implementation and Applications (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems #298) [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9783540187721 in Paperback by Soo H.
