Practical methods of optimization

By: Fletcher, R
Language: English Publisher: United Kingdom -- Wiley -- 2000Edition: 2nd edDescription: xiv, 436pISBN: 9780471494638Subject(s): Mathematics | Mathematical optimization | Operations researchDDC classification: 515 FLE/P Summary: Fully describes optimization methods that are currently most valuable in solving real-life problems. Since optimization has applications in almost every branch of science and technology, the text emphasizes their practical aspects in conjunction with the heuristics useful in making them perform more reliably and efficiently. To this end, it presents comparative numerical studies to give readers a feel for possibile applications and to illustrate the problems in assessing evidence. Also provides theoretical background which provides insights into how methods are derived.
