title: DIVANU: a new method for global optimization.
abstract: We propose a new method, DIVANU (Diminution of Variables Number), for numerically solving minimization problems involving any function of any variables. This method uses a reducing transformation. We have used this method for applications to biological problems. The identification of models is treated.
