Abstract A class of branch-and-bound methods is proposed for minimizing a quasiconvex-concave function subject to convex and quasiconvex-concave inequality constraints. Several important special cases where the subproblems involved by the bounding-and-branching operations can be solved quite effectively include certain d.c. programming problems, indefinite quadratic programming with one negative eigenvalue, affine multiplicative problems, and fractional multiplicative optimization.
