Mathematical Optimization Techniques - Hardcover

by Richard Bellman (Editor)

Mathematical Optimization Techniques is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of optimization theory. Written by Richard Bellman, a renowned mathematician and pioneer in the field of dynamic programming, this book covers a wide range of topics in optimization, including linear programming, nonlinear programming, integer programming, dynamic programming, and stochastic programming.The book begins with an introduction to optimization theory and its applications, followed by a detailed discussion of linear programming and its various applications. The author then moves on to nonlinear programming, covering topics such as convex optimization, quadratic programming, and interior-point methods.The book also covers integer programming, which deals with problems involving discrete variables, and dynamic programming, which is used to solve problems that involve sequential decision-making. The final section of the book covers stochastic programming, which deals with optimization problems that involve uncertainty.Throughout the book, the author provides clear explanations of the underlying mathematical concepts and techniques, as well as numerous examples and exercises to help readers develop their problem-solving skills. Mathematical Optimization Techniques is an essential resource for students and professionals in mathematics, engineering, economics, and other fields who need to understand and apply optimization theory in their work.Contributing Authors Include Angelo Miele, P.
