Abstract
BARON, under development since the early 1990s, has evolved into a robust computational system for solving continuous and discrete optimization problems to global optimality. The current generation of BARON focuses on enhancements in hybrid relaxations, presolve methods, convexification techniques, heuristics, and robustness improvements. Our experiments underscore the importance of all algorithmic components within the branch-and-reduce framework. Computational comparisons against state-of-the-art global and local solvers highlight BARON's superior performance.
