This manuscript introduces ANTIGONE, Algorithms for coNTinuous/Integer Global Optimization of Nonlinear Equations, a general mixed-integer nonlinear global optimization framework. ANTIGONE is the evolution of the Global Mixed-Integer Quadratic Optimizer, GloMIQO, to general nonconvex terms. The...

In a recent paper, Birgin, Floudas and Martínez introduced an augmented Lagrangian method for global optimization. In their approach, augmented Lagrangian subproblems are solved using the <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$\alpha $$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">BB method and convergence to global minimizers was obtained assuming feasibility of the...</emphasis></equationsource></inlineequation>

Three rejection tests for multi-objective optimization problems based on first order optimality conditions are proposed. These tests can certify that a box does not contain any local minimizer, and thus it can be excluded from the search process. They generalize previously proposed rejection...
