In this paper we establish necessary as well as sufficient conditions for a given feasible point to be a global minimizer of smooth minimization problems with mixed variables. These problems, for instance, cover box constrained smooth minimization problems and bivalent optimization problems. In particular, our results provide necessary global optimality conditions for difference convex minimization problems, whereas our sufficient conditions give easily verifiable conditions for global optimality of various classes of nonconvex minimization problems, including the class of difference of convex and quadratic minimization problems. We discuss numerical examples to illustrate the optimality conditions
