Supplemented with more than one hundred tables and illustrations, an extensive bibliography, and numerous worked examples to illustrate both theory and algorithms, this book also provides:
∗ A review of the required mathematical background material
∗ A mathematical discussion at a level accessible to MBA and business students
∗ A treatment of both linear and nonlinear programming
∗ An introduction to recent developments, including neural networks, genetic algorithms, and interior–point methods
∗ A chapter on the use of descent algorithms for the training of feedforward neural networks
∗ Exercise problems after every chapter, many new to this edition
∗ MATLAB(r) exercises and examples
∗ Accompanying Instructor′s Solutions Manual available on request
An Introduction to Optimization, Second Edition helps students prepare for the advanced topics and technological developments that lie ahead. It is also a useful book for researchers and professionals in mathematics, electrical engineering, economics, statistics, and business.
