Dear COIN-OR users,

I am pleased to announce a new project in COIN-OR:
MC++ provides an implementation of various methods for
computing bounds for factorable functions, in the form
of convex/concave relaxations, Taylor models, or
spectral bounds. A main objective in developing MC++
has been to make the bounds computation as simple and
natural as possible, similar to existing interval
arithmetic libraries. This way, MC++ can be quite
useful for the fast prototyping and testing of new
algorithms and ideas in global or robust optimization.

More information about MC++ can be found at

Regards,
Benoit Chachuat (MC++ project manager)
