Numerical Optimization (Springer Series in Operations Research and Financial Engineering) - Tapa blanda

Aus den Rezensionen zur 2. Auflage: " Der Aufbau folgt ... vielen Standardwerken ber nichtlineare Optimierung. ... Das Buch bietet eine detaillierte und gut lesbare bersicht ber den aktuellen Stand der Forschung in nichtlinearer Optimierung. Viele Aufgaben unterschiedlichen Schwierigkeitsgrades bieten auch den Lernenden eine n tzliche Unterst tzung. Insgesamt halte ich dieses Werk als Grundlage f r eine Lehrveranstaltung ber nichtlineare Optimierung hervorragend geeignet und habe es bereits selbst erfolgreich eingesetzt." (F. Rendl, in: IMN - Internationale Mathematische Nachrichten, 2008, Vol. 62, Issue 208, S. 69 f.) MMOR Mathematical Methods of Operations Research, 2001: "The books looks very suitable to be used in an graduate-level course in optimization for students in mathematics, operations research, engineering, and others. Moreover, it seems to be very helpful to do some self-studies in optimization, to complete own knowledge and can be a source of new ideas.... I recommend this excellent book to everyone who is interested in optimization problems."

Optimization is an important tool used in decision science and for the analysis of physical systems used in engineering. One can trace its roots to the Calculus of Variations and the work of Euler and Lagrange. This natural and reasonable approach to mathematical programming covers numerical methods for finite-dimensional optimization problems. It begins with very simple ideas progressing through more complicated concepts, concentrating on methods for both unconstrained and constrained optimization.
