Riassunto

Technology/Engineering/Mechanical

Provides all the tools needed to begin solving optimizationproblems using MATLAB®

The Second Edition of Applied Optimization with MATLAB®Programming enables readers to harness all the features ofMATLAB® to solve optimization problems using a variety oflinear and nonlinear design optimization techniques. By breakingdown complex mathematical concepts into simple ideas and offeringplenty of easy-to-follow examples, this text is an idealintroduction to the field. Examples come from all engineeringdisciplines as well as science, economics, operations research, andmathematics, helping readers understand how to apply optimizationtechniques to solve actual problems.

This Second Edition has been thoroughly revised, incorporatingcurrent optimization techniques as well as the improvedMATLAB® tools. Two important new features of the text are:

• Introduction to the scan and zoom method, providing a simple,effective technique that works for unconstrained, constrained, andglobal optimization problems

• New chapter, Hybrid Mathematics: An Application, using examplesto illustrate how optimization can develop analytical or explicitsolutions to differential systems and data-fitting problems

Each chapter ends with a set of problems that give readers anopportunity to put their new skills into practice. Almost all ofthe numerical techniques covered in the text are supported byMATLAB® code, which readers can download on the text'scompanion Web site www.wiley.com/go/venkat2e and use to beginsolving problems on their own.

This text is recommended for upper-level undergraduate andgraduate students in all areas of engineering as well as otherdisciplines that use optimization techniques to solve designproblems.
