Deterministic global optimization

Deterministic global optimization is like playing a game where you want to find the best hiding spot for your treasure. But instead of playing with your friends, you're playing with a computer program.

The program tries to find the best hiding spot for your treasure by checking all possible hiding spots in the entire world. It tries to find the spot that's the most hidden, meaning no one will be able to find it.

When the program checks each hiding spot, it uses a special formula to calculate how good the spot is. If the spot is really good, the program marks it as a possible place to hide your treasure.

Once the program has checked all possible hiding spots, it looks at all the places it marked as possible hiding spots and chooses the one that's the best of them all.

The program doesn't just check hiding spots randomly. It has a plan that it follows to make sure it checks every possible spot, without missing any. It's like following a treasure map, but instead of going to each spot on the map, the program checks every single spot in the whole world.

Deterministic global optimization is really good at finding the best hiding spot for your treasure, but it takes a long time to check every possible spot. That's why it's like playing a game – you have to be patient and keep trying until you find the best spot.
