LGO — A Program System for Continuous and Lipschitz Global Optimization

  • Chapter
Developments in Global Optimization

Part of the book series: Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications ((NOIA,volume 18))

Abstract

The program system LGO serves to solve global optimization problems under very mild-continuity or Lipschitz-continuity-structural assumptions. LGO is embedded into a menu-driven user interface which effectively assists the application development process. Implementation details, and several application areas are also highlighted.
