Product Description: Linear Optimization (LO) is a widely taught and used mathematical technique that can also be applied to areas of science, commerce and industry. Because of advances in computer technology and developments in the field of interior point methods (IPM), problems that could not be solved years ago (because of lengthy time requirements) can now be solved in minutes by way of IPM approach to both the theory of LO and algorithms for LO (design, convergence, complexity and asymptotic behavior)...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This study collects the papers presented at the Nonlinear Analysis and Optimization conference held at the Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE) in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. It was the firm belief of the organizers of the meeting that there is a natural interaction between the methods used in nonlinear analysis and the problems encountered in optimization, and that gathering the papers into one book would be beneficial for both parties concerned...read more
