Abstract
Many optimisation problems in Chemical and Process Engineering are non convex resulting in multiple local solutions. A modified interval algo rithm for obtaining global minimisers is presented. The modifications accelerate the convergence of the interval algorithm and identify mini misers lying on constraints to provide a single rigorous globally opti mal point to a general optimisation problem. The results of applicatio n to test problems indicate that a substantial performance increase is obtained when solving multiextremal problems.
