The global optimum point may be superior to nearby points, but the local optimum point is the true optimal solution-n to a nonlinear programming problem.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement is false. The global optimum point is the true optimal solution to a nonlinear programming problem, not just the local optimum point. The global optimum point is the point that yields the highest (or lowest) objective function value across the entire feasible region, while a local optimum point is the point that yields the highest (or lowest) objective function value within a local neighborhood of feasible points.
