Optimization of Temporal Networks under Uncertainty
Springer 2012; US$ 109.99Many decision problems in Operations Research are defined on temporal networks, that is, workflows of time-consuming tasks whose processing order is constrained by precedence relations. For example, temporal networks are used to model projects, computer applications, digital circuits and production processes. Optimization problems arise in temporal... more...
Algebraic Modeling Systems
Springer 2012; US$ 109.99This book Algebraic Modeling Systems -- Modeling and Solving Real World Optimization Problems -- deals with the aspects of modeling and solving real-world optimization problems in a unique combination. It treats systematically the major algebraic modeling languages (AMLs) and modeling systems (AMLs) used to solve mathematical optimization problems.... more...

Springer 2011; US$ 99.99This book presents the application of some AI related optimization techniques in the operation and control of electric power systems. With practical applications and examples the use of functional analysis, simulated annealing, Tabu-search, Genetic algorithms and fuzzy systems for the optimization of power systems is discussed in detail. Preliminary... more...
Topological Aspects of Nonsmooth Optimization
Springer 2011; US$ 79.99This book deals with nonsmooth structures arising within the optimization setting. It considers four optimization problems, namely, mathematical programs with complementarity constraints, general semi-infinite programming problems, mathematical programs with vanishing constraints and bilevel optimization. The author uses the topological approach and... more...
Deterministic Global Optimization
Springer 2011; US$ 79.99This monograph deals with a general class of solution approaches in deterministic global optimization, namely the geometric branch-and-bound methods which are popular algorithms, for instance, in Lipschitzian optimization, d.c. programming, and interval analysis.It also introduces a new concept for the rate of convergence and analyzes several bounding... more...
Optimization for Industrial Problems
Springer 2012; US$ 79.99Industrial optimization lies on the crossroads between mathematics, computer science, engineering and management. This book presents these fields in interdependence as a conversation between theoretical aspects of mathematics and computer science and the mathematical field of optimization theory at a practical level. The 19 case studies that were conducted... more...
Stochastic Global Optimization and Its Applications with Fuzzy Adaptive Simulated Annealing
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99Stochastic global optimization is a very important subject, that has applications in virtually all areas of science and technology. Therefore there is nothing more opportune than writing a book about a successful and mature algorithm that turned out to be a good tool in solving difficult problems.Here we present some techniques for solving several... more...
