Product Description: This reprint of the 1969 book of the same name is a concise, rigorous, yet accessible, account of the fundamentals of constrained optimization theory. Many problems arising in diverse fields such as machine learning, medicine, chemical engineering, structural design, and airline scheduling can be reduced to a constrained optimization problem...read more

Product Description: In 1924 the firm of Julius Springer published the first volume of Methods of Mathematical Physics by Richard Courant and David Hilbert. In the preface, Courant says this: Since the sevc~nteenth century, physical intuition has served as a vital source for mathematical problems and methods...read more

This third edition of the classic textbook in Optimization has been fully revised and updated. It comprehensively covers modern theoretical insights in this crucial computing area, and will be required reading for analysts and operations researchers in a variety of fields. The book connects the purely analytical character of an optimization problem, and the behavior of algorithms used to solve it. Now, the third edition has been completely updated with recent Optimization Methods. The book also has a new co-author, Yinyu Ye of California’s Stanford University, who has written lots of extra material including some on Interior Point Methods.

Product Description: The analysis and optimization of convex functions have re­ ceived a great deal of attention during the last two decades. If we had to choose two key-words from these developments, we would retain the concept of ~ubdi66~e~ and the duality theo~y...read more

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
