This paper presents a realistic chemical-process optimization problem in detail, and notes the fact of its equivalence to the general nonlinear programming problem. The eight equality constraints that ...

A small nonlinear numerical example illustrates the calculation of these bounds. For this example the bounds closely bracket the optimum solution to the two-stage problem.
