18 Global Optimization Concepts and Methods for Optimum Design
Upon completion of this chapter, you will be able to:
• Explain basic concepts associated with finding a global solution for a design problem
• Explain basic ideas, procedures, and limitations of deterministic and stochastic methods for global optimization
• Use an appropriate method for solving your global optimization problem
The standard design optimization model treated in this text is minimize f(x) with x in the feasible set S defined as
(18.1)
The discrete variables in the problem are treated as explained in Chapter 15. Thus far in this text, we have addressed mainly ...
