The book covers both gradient and stochastic methods as solution techniques for unconstrained and co
An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all theproblems in the book is available upon request from the Wileyeditorial department. A thorough and highly accessible resource for analysts in a broad range of social sciences.
The book can be used for courses on continuous optimization, from introductory to advanced, for any field for which optimization is relevant.
Gives a detailed mathematical exposition to various optimization techniques. This book includes topics such as: Single and multi-dimensional optimization, Linear programming, Nonlinear constrained optimization and Evolutionary algorithms.
Optimization: theory and practice
"In general, this presentation demonstrates the interrelationships between the various facets of optimization. These aspects range from the differential calculus through direct search and mathematical programming techniques to the more...
The 21 self-contained chapters in this book, include recent developments in several optimization-related topics such as decision theory, linear programming, turnpike theory, duality theory, convex analysis, and queueing theory.
