Abstract
Nonconvex minimization problems form an old subject which has received a growing interest in the recent years. The main incentive comes from modelling in Applied Mathematics and Operations Research, where one may be faced with optimization problems like: minimizing (globally) a difference of convex functions, maximizing a convex function over a convex set, minimizing an indefinite quadratic form over a polyhedral convex set, etc.
