Optimization: Insights and applications

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: New Delhi, India New age international (P) limited 2010Description: xix, 658 p. : ill. Includes bibliographical reference and indexISBN:
  • 9788122431322
Subject(s):
Other classification:
  • B7:3 Q0
Summary: This self-contained textbook is an informal introduction to optimization through the use of numerous illustrations and applications. The focus is on analytically solving optimization problems with a finite number of continuous variables. In addition, the authors provide introductions to classical and modern numerical methods of optimization and to dynamic optimization. The book's overarching point is that most problems may be solved by the direct application of the theorems of Fermat, Lagrange, and Weierstrass. The authors show how the intuition for each of the theoretical results can be supported by simple geometric figures.
