Abstract
A generalized primal-relaxed dual algorithm for global optimization is proposed and its convergence is proved. The (GOP) algorithm of Floudas and Visweswaran (Refs. 1–2) is shown to be a special case of this general algorithm. Within the proposed framework, the algorithm of Floudas and Visweswaran (Refs. 1–2) is further extended to the nonsmooth case. A penalty implementation of the extended (GOP) algorithm is studied to improve its efficiency.
