BARON Bibliography

The best way to cite BARON is by citing:

  • Tawarmalani, M. and N. V. Sahinidis, "Global optimization of mixed-integer nonlinear programs:  A theoretical and computational study," Mathematical Programming, 99(3), 563-591, 2004.  Click here for bibtex entry.  This is the most recent journal paper with a thorough treatment of the algorithms behind the software.
  • Sahinidis, N. V. and M. Tawarmalani, BARON 7.2.5: Global Optimization of Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programs, User's manual, 2005.  Click here for bibtex entry.  Please make sure to cite the exact version of the code you are using.  BARON 7.2.5 was the version available when this page was last updated.

 

The code is developed and maintained by Nick Sahinidis's optimization group.   Former and current students have contributed in many different ways.   Special thanks are due to Mohit Tawarmalani.
