Applied Global Optimization Using Integrated Modeling and Solver Environments

In a unique treatment that integrates methods, modeling, tools, test cases, and applications, this book presents a practically motivated discussion of nonlinear global optimization (GO). It begins with a review of standard models and methods, then moves to a detailed discussion of non-trivial test problems, challenges, and real-world applications of interest to a range of scientists, engineers, and economists. The author also reviews several integrated model/application development and solver systems and uses these to analyze and solve the models discussed. From this book, readers will gain a solid understanding of the methods and tools of this important and rapidly emerging field.Pintér, János D. is the author of 'Applied Global Optimization Using Integrated Modeling and Solver Environments' with ISBN 9780849316234 and ISBN 0849316235.
