Riassunto

<p>Optimization is a field important in its own right but is also integral to numerous applied sciences, including operations research, management science, economics, finance and all branches of mathematics-oriented engineering. Constrained optimization models are one of the most widely used mathematical models in operations research and management science.</p><p>This book gives a modern and well-balanced presentation of the subject, focusing on theory but also including algorithims and examples from various real-world applications. Detailed examples and counter-examples are provided--as are exercises, solutions and helpful hints, and Matlab/Maple supplements.</p>

Dalla quarta di copertina

<p>Optimization is an important field in its own right but also plays a central role in numerous&nbsp; applied sciences, including operations research, management science, economics, finance, and engineering. </p><p><em>Optimization &mdash; Theory and Practice</em> offers a modern and well-balanced presentation of various&nbsp; optimization techniques and their applications.&nbsp; The book's&nbsp; clear structure, sound theoretical basics complemented by insightful illustrations and instructive examples, makes it an ideal introductory textbook and provides the reader with a comprehensive foundation in one of the most fascinating and useful branches of mathematics.</p><p>Notable features include:</p><ul> <li>Detailed explanations of theoretic results accompanied by supporting algorithms and exercises, often supplemented by helpful hints or MATLAB&reg;/MAPLE&reg; code fragments;</li> <li>an overview of the MATLAB&reg; Optimization Toolbox and demonstrations of its uses with selected examples;</li> <li>accessibility to readers with a knowledge of multi-dimensional calculus, linear algebra, and basic numerical methods.</li></ul><p>Written at an introductory level, this book is intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, but may also be used as a reference by academics and professionals in mathematics and the applied sciences.</p>
