Dear Ray, Could you please distribute via the CAST10 facility the following? With best regards, Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANTIGONE: Algorithms for coNTinuous / Integer Global Optimization of Nonlinear Equations Ruth Misener and Christodoulos A. Floudas http://helios.princeton.edu/ANTIGONE/index.html The Computer-Aided Systems Laboratory at Princeton University is pleased to announce the release of ANTIGONE (Algorithms for coNTinuous / Integer Global Optimization of Nonlinear Equations), a computational framework for deterministic global optimization of nonconvex MINLP. ANTIGONE was completed in collaboration with the Centre for Process Systems Engineering at Imperial College. ANTIGONE is commercially available through the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS; version 24.1, now in beta: http://www.gams.com/beta/). Deterministic global optimization of mixed-integer nonlinear programs (MINLP) is broadly applicable in diverse domains ranging from molecular biology to refinery operations to computational chemistry to synthesizing sustainable processes. ANTIGONE is the evolution of GloMIQO (Global Mixed-Integer Quadratic Optimizer) to general nonconvex terms; it performs equivalently to GloMIQO when all nonlinearities in MINLP are quadratic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christodoulos A.
