vntrs: Variable Neighborhood Trust Region Search
Implements the variable neighborhood trust region search (VNTRS) algorithm for nonlinear global optimization, following Bierlaire et al. (2009) "A Heuristic for Nonlinear Global Optimization" <doi:10.1287/ijoc.1090.0343>. The method combines neighborhood exploration with a trust-region framework to search the solution space efficiently. It can terminate a local search early when the iterates converge toward a previously visited local optimum or when further improvement within the current region is unlikely. The algorithm can also be used to identify multiple local optima.
