Fund Project: This paper was prepared at the occasion of The 10th International Conference on Optimization: Techniques and Applications (ICOTA 2016), Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, July 23-26,2016, with its Associate Editors of Numerical Algebra, Control and Optimization (NACO) being Prof. Dr. Zhiyou Wu, School of Mathematical Sciences, Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing, China, Prof. Dr. Changjun Yu, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Curtin University, Perth, Australia, and Shanghai University, China, and Prof. Gerhard-Wilhelm Weber, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey.

In this paper, we generalize Malfatti's problem as a continuation of works [6,7]. The problem has been formulated as a global optimization problem. To solve Malfatti's problem numerically, we propose the co-called ''Hill method'' which is based on a heuristic approach. Some computational results for two and three-dimensional test problems are provided.

Keywords: Malfatti's problem, global optimization, algorithm, optimality conditions.
