Summary/Abstract: Global optimization methods based on Lipschitz bounds have been analyzed and applied widely to solve various optimization problems. In this paper a bound for Lipschitz function is proposed, which is computed using function values at the vertices of a simplex and the radius of the circumscribed sphere. The efficiency of a branch and bound algorithm with proposed bound and combinations of bounds is evaluated experimentally while solving a number of multidimensional test problems for global optimization. The influence of different bounds on the performance of a branch and bound algorithm has been investigated.
