By: Publication details: Boca Raton : CRC Press, ©2015.Description: xvi, 718 pages : illustrations ; 25 cmISBN:
  • 9781482203455
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 519.3 23 B588
Contents:
I. Formulation and analysis of the problem -- II. Optimality conditions -- III. Solving equations -- IV. Unconstrained optimization -- V. Constrained optimization -- VI. Networks -- VII. Discrete optimization -- VIII. Appendices.
Summary: Optimization algorithms are critical tools for engineers, but difficult to use since none of them are universal in application. This introductery text builds up the knowledge set, from the basics, so that engineering students can understand the processes that govern optimization processes. Reinforcing theory with practice, the book includes discussions on how to match applications to appropiate methods and why certain approaches are not adapted to specific requirements.
