From the reviews: "This book includes a well-written and structured state-of-the-art survey, which gives the interested reader, both practitioner and researcher, essential information on what is necessary for global optimizationThe book also provides information on recent and ongoing scientific investigations worldwide; thus, it invites readers to do their own scientific studies. ... We believe that both today's and future generations of students, teachers, researchers, and industry representatives could benefit from this book." (Miray Hanim (Aslan) Yildirim and Gerhard-Wilhelm Weber, Interfaces, Vol. 44 (1), January-February, 2014) "Introducing stochastic methods, the author presents an elegant and widely applicable new approach to global optimization, constrained or unconstrained, scalar or vector, with special emphasis on large scale problems. ... Practical numerical methods are discussed in detail. Numerous explicit examples and problems are given. ... Due to three appendices summarizing the tools from probability, the book is self-contained ... for the reader familiar with some basics of initial value problems and classical local optimization." (Heinrich Hering, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1262, 2013)
