Finding Good Starting Points for Solving Structured and Unstructured Nonlinear Constrained Optimization Problems
In this paper, we develop heuristics for finding good starting points when solving large-scale nonlinear constrained optimization problems (COPs). We focus on nonlinear programmi...

On a global optimization technique for solving a nonlinear hyperboloid least squares problem
We present a numerical experimentation of the global optimization algorithm presented by Velázquez et. al. [3] applied to a nonlinear hyperboloid least squares problem. This prob...
