This piece of software implements an Augmented Lagrangian method 
for global optimization described in [1].  

[1] E. G. Birgin, C. A. Floudas and J. M. Martnez, "Global 
minimization using an Augmented Lagrangian method with variable
lower-level constraints", submitted.

Compile executing the script "compile" in the experiments directory
and then execute using the "runalabb" script, typing, for example,

runalabb problem01

See the details on how to code your own problem in [1] or in the 
self documented codes of any of the 18 available problems (directory
problems).

If you would like to reproduce the numerical experiments presented
in [1] then go to the experiments directory, type compile and then
type runall. It will generate an output file called alabb-table.out
which should be very similar to the table presented in [1].
