Synopsis
Floudas (Princeton University) and Pardalos (University of Florida) present refereed invited papers submitted at the June 2003 Fourth International Conference on Frontiers in Global Optimization held in Greece. Papers focus on deterministic methods and applications of global optimization in several branches of applied science and engineering, computer science, computational chemistry, structural biology, and bio-informatics. The book is addressed to faculty, students, and researchers in optimization, engineering, computational chemistry and biology, computer science, and applied mathematics. Some topics explored are the Steiner ratio and the homochirality of biomacromolecular structures, quasiconvexity and fractional programming, and the existence of polyhedral convex envelopes. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
