Branch and bound methods for global optimization are considered in this paper. Advantages and disadvantages of simplicial partitions for branch and bound are shown. A new general combinatorial approach for vertex triangulation of hyper‐rectangular feasible regions is presented. Simplicial partitions may be used to vertex triangulate feasible regions of non rectangular shape defined by linear inequality constraints. Linear inequality constraints may be used to avoid symmetries in optimization problems.

In this study, we deal with the nonlinear constrained global optimization problems. First, we introduce a new smooth exact penalty function for constrained optimization problems. We combine the exact penalty function with the auxiliary function in regard to constrained global optimization. We present a new auxiliary function approach and the adapted algorithm for solving  non-linear inequality constrained global optimization problems. Finally, we illustrate the efficiency of the algorithm on some numerical examples.
