Riassunto

The only book on the market devoted to sequential simplex optimization This book presents an easy-to-learn, effective optimization technique that can be applied immediately to many problems in the real world. The sequential simplex is an evolutionary operation (EVOP) technique that uses experimental results-it does not require a mathematical model. The authors present their subject with a level of detail and clarity that is refreshingly welcome in a technical text. The basics are presented first, followed by a detailed discussion of the fine points needed to get the most out of this optimization technique. Worksheets are provided and their use is illustrated with step-by-step worked examples. This makes the logic and calculations of the simplex algorithms easy to understand and follow. The text also provides more than 200 figures and over 500 references to sequential simplex applications, which allows rapid access to specific examples of the use of the technique in a wide range of applications. Sequential Simplex Optimization: A Technique for Improving Quality and Productivity in Research, Development, and Manufacturing is essential for any student or professional who desires to learn this innovative technique quickly and easily.
