About this title

Synopsis

This book presents a view of optimization independent of any discipline. This new edition contains two new chapters, one on global optimization and one of a real-world case study that uses the principles from each chapter in the book.

From the Back Cover

This text presents a multi-disciplined view of optimization, providing students and researchers with a thorough examination of algorithms, methods, and tools from diverse areas of optimization without introducing excessive theoretical detail. This second edition includes additional topics, including global optimization and a real-world case study using important concepts from each chapter.

Key Features:

• Provides well-written self-contained chapters, including problem sets and exercises, making it ideal for the classroom setting;
• Introduces applied optimization to the hazardous waste blending problem;
• Explores linear programming, nonlinear programming, discrete optimization, global optimization, optimization under uncertainty, multi-objective optimization, optimal control and stochastic optimal control;
• Includes an extensive bibliography at the end of each chapter and an index;
• GAMS files of case studies for Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 are linked to http: //www.springer.com/math/book/978-0-387-76634-8;
• Solutions manual available upon adoptions.

Introduction to Applied Optimization is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and will benefit scientists from diverse areas, including engineers.
