Current research results in stochastic and deterministic global optimization including single
and multiple objectives are explored and presented in this book by leading specialists from
various fields. Contributions include applications to multidimensional data visualization
regression survey calibration inventory management timetabling chemical engineering energy
systems and competitive facility location. Graduate students researchers and scientists in
computer science numerical analysis optimization and applied mathematics will be fascinated
by the theoretical computational and application-oriented aspects of stochastic and
deterministic global optimization explored in this book.This volume is dedicated to the 70th
birthday of Antanas Zilinskas who is a leading world expert in global optimization. Professor
Zilinskas's research has concentrated on studying models for the objective function the
development and implementation of efficient algorithms for global optimization with single and
multiple objectives and application of algorithms for solving real-world practical problems.
