This book covers different topics on optimal design and operations with particular emphasis on chemical engineering applications. A wide range of optimizations methods -- deterministic, stochastic, global and hybrid -- are considered. Containing papers presented at the bilateral workshop by British and Lithuanian scientists, the book brings together researchers' contributions from different fields -- chemical engineering including reaction and separation processes, food and biological production, as well as business cycle optimization, bankruptcy, protein analysis and bioinformatics.
