Riassunto

Provides an introduction to the applications, theory, and algorithms of linear and nonlinear optimization. The emphasis is on practical aspects - discussing modern algorithms, as well as the influence of theory on the interpretation of solutions or on the design of software. The book includes several examples of realistic optimization models that address important applications. The succinct style of this second edition is punctuated with numerous real-life examples and exercises, and the authors include accessible explanations of topics that are not often mentioned in textbooks, such as duality in nonlinear optimization, primal-dual methods for nonlinear optimization, filter methods, and applications such as support-vector machines. The book is designed to be flexible. It has a modular structure, and uses consistent notation and terminology throughout. It can be used in many different ways, in many different courses, and at many different levels of sophistication.

L'autore:

Igor Griva received a B.Sc. and M.S. degree in applied mathematics in 1993 and 1994 from Moscow State University, Russia; and a Ph.D. in information technology in 2002 from George Mason University, where he is now an Assistant Professor of Computational Sciences and Mathematics in the College of Science. Prior to coming to George Mason University, he was a research associate at the Department of Financial Engineering and Operations Research in Princeton University. His research focuses on theory and methods of nonlinear optimization and their application to problems in science and engineering.
