TY - THES A1 - Bender, Wilhelm T1 - On a Novel Approach for Global Optimization of Non-Convex Problems N2 - In this work new approaches for global optimization are developed. We move from theoretical connections in complexity theory to very practical results in protein-ligand docking. In regard to the efficiency of the suggested optimizer, continuity methods are motivated, that yield an improved optimization method.
