"The Global Optimization Toolbox for Maple provides a widely
applicable, fully integrated development environment that can support control
engineering applications and help realize the significant potential that global
optimization has as a valuable tool in control system design."

Optimization is the science of finding decisions that satisfy given
constraints, and meet a specific goal at its optimal value. In engineering,
constraints may arise from physical limitations and technical specifications;
in business, constraints are often related to resources, including manpower,
equipment, costs, and time.
The objective of global optimization is to find the "best possible" solution in
nonlinear decision models that frequently have a number of sub-optimal (local)
solutions. Multi-extremal optimization problems can be very difficult. To
obtain a high quality numerical solution, a global "exhaustive" search approach
is necessary. In the absence of global optimization tools, engineers and
researchers are often forced to settle for feasible solutions, often neglecting
the optimum values. In practical terms, this implies inferior designs and
operations, and related expenses in terms of reliability, time, money, and
other resources.
Using the Global Optimization Toolbox, you can formulate optimization models
easily inside the powerful Maple numeric and symbolic system, and then use
world-class optimization technology to return the best answer robustly and
efficiently.
