$title Haverly's Pooling Problem Example (HAVERLY,SEQ=214) $onText Haverly's pooling problem example. This is a non-convex problem. Setting initial levels for the nonlinear variables is a good approach to find the global optimum. Haverly, C A, Studies of the Behavior of Recursion for the Pooling Problem.
