BARON is a computational system for solving nonconvex optimization problems to global optimality. Purely continuous, purely integer, and mixed-integer nonlinear problems can be solved with the software. BARON is available under the AIMMS and GAMS modeling languages on a variety of platforms. The GAMS/BARON solver is also available on the NEOS Server.
The development of the BARON algorithms and software has been recognized by the 2004 INFORMS Computing Society Prize and the 2006 Beale-Orchard-Hays Prize for excellence in computational mathematical programming from the Mathematical Optimization Society.
