There are instances that a local optimum does not correspond to the desired physical solution and hence the search for a better solution is required. Local optimization techniques can be trapped in any local minimum. Global optimization is then the appropriate tool.

For example, solving a non - linear system of equations via optimization, one may encounter many local minima that do no ...
