Abstract
A novel global optimization method based on an Augmented Lagrangian framework is introduced for continuous constrained nonlinear optimization problems. At each outer iteration k the method requires the \({\varepsilon_{k}}\) -global minimization of the Augmented Lagrangian with simple constraints, where \({\varepsilon_k \to \varepsilon}\) . Global convergence to an \({\varepsilon}\) -global minimizer of the original problem is proved. The subproblems are solved using the αBB method. Numerical experiments are presented.
