Global Optimization for the Sum of Certain Nonlinear Functions

We extend work by Pei-Ping and Gui-Xia, 2007, to a global optimization problem for more general functions. Pei-Ping and Gui-Xia treat the optimization problem for the linear sum of polynomial fractional functions, using a branch and bound approach. We prove that this extension makes possible to sol...
