Global Optimization
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 119.99Addresses the following topics: descriptions of implementations of general-purpose or problem-specific global optimization algorithms; algorithms in global optimization, some with numerical results and a discussion of the implementation; and surveys discussing software packages. more...
Multiscale Optimization Methods and Applications
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 109.99As optimization researchers tackle larger and larger problems, scale interactions play an increasingly important role. One general strategy for dealing with a large or difficult problem is to partition it into smaller ones, which are hopefully much easier to solve, and then work backwards towards the solution of original problem, using a solution from... more...
Handbook on Modelling for Discrete Optimization
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 169.99Aims to demonstrate and detail the pervasive nature of Discrete Optimization. This book utilizes the tools of mathematical modeling, optimization, and integer programming to solve a range of problems. It is intended for researchers in the domains of the Computer Science, Math Programming, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, and Operations Research. more...
Foundations of Generic Optimization
Springer 2006; US$ 99.99The success of a genetic algorithm when applied to an optimization problem depends upon several features present or absent in the problem to be solved, including the quality of the encoding of data, the geometric structure of the search space, deception or epistasis. This book deals essentially with the latter notion, presenting for the first time... more...

Recent Advances in Optimization
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 119.99Gives an overview of research done in optimization and related areas, such as optimal control, calculus of variations, and game theory. This book not only addresses abstract issues of optimization theory, but is also concerned with the modeling and computer resolution of specific optimization problems, arising in industry and applied sciences. more...
Theoretical Aspects of Local Search
Springer 2007; US$ 84.99Local search has been applied successively to a diverse collection of optimization problems, and in many cases with considerable success. Serving as a source of inspiration for the development of novel results in the challenging field of local search, this book presents a large collection of theoretical results. more...
Constrained Optimization and Image Space Analysis
Springer 2006; US$ 129.99Professor Franco Giannessi has been working on an approach to optimization theory based on image space analysis. This book unites his results and presents optimization theory and variational inequalities in their light. It also presents an approach to the theory of constrained extremum problems. more...
