Written by a world leader in the field and aimed at researchers in applied and engineering sciences, this brilliant text has as its main goal imparting an understanding of the methods so that practitioners can make immediate use of existing algorithms and software, and so that researchers can extend the state of the art and find new applications. It includes algorithms on seeking feasibility and analyzing infeasibility, as well as describing new and surprising applications.
From the reviews:
"This book is really the first monograph to summarize the growing body of research on the analysis of feasibility and infeasibility of optimization problems. With up to date coverage and very thorough bibliography, it will be of definite interest to researchers working in this area. The book may also be of interest to those readers who are more interested in modeling and applications but want to learn something about techniques for analyzing the feasibility of optimization models."
