In this session, optimization problems characterized by single or multiple continuous objective functions with several local optima—typically of unknown and potentially very large number—and known as global optimization problems are considered. Such functions arise in many applications; however, the associated problems often cannot be solved using traditional optimization techniques that rely on strong assumptions about the objective function (such as convexity or differentiability). This limitation explains the growing interest among researchers in developing advanced numerical methods to address this challenging class of problems. Related contributions are welcome.
