Summary:

The principal objective of this book is to present a collection of challenging test problems arising in literature studies and a wide spectrum of applications. These applications include: pooling/ blending operations, heat exchanger network synthesis, phase and chemical reactor network synthesis, parameter estimation and data reconciliation, clusters of atoms and molecules, pump network synthesis, trim loss minimization, homogeneous azeotropic separation, dynamic optimization and optimal control problems.

This book will be of value to academic and industrial researchers interested in algorithmic and software development of well-designed nonconvex optimization test problems.
