Preface
Utinam exitus acta probet
Global optimization plays an outstanding role in applied mathematics, because a huge number of problems arising in natural sciences, engineering, and economics can be formulated as global optimization problems. It is impossible to overlook the literature dealing with the subject. This is due to the fact that-unlike local optimization-only small and very special classes of global optimization problems have been investigated and solved using a variety of mathematical tools and numerical approximations. In summary, global optimization seems to be a very inhomogeneous discipline
