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...
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...
Max-Plus Linear Stochastic Systems and Perturbation Analysis
Springer 2006; US$ 139.99Provides a treatment of the theory of stochastic max-plus linear systems. This book addresses modeling issues and stability theory for stochastic max-plus systems. It also treats perturbation analysis of max-plus systems: a calculus for differentiation of max-plus systems is developed. more...
The State Space Method: Generalizations and Applications (Operator Theory: Advances and Applications / Linear Operators and Linear Systems)
Springer 2006; US$ 139.99A collection of essays representing some of the advances in the state space method. Methods covered include noncommutative systems theory, the aspects of the theory of discrete systems, discrete analogs of canonical systems, and applications to the theory of Bezoutiants and convolution equations. 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...
Optimal Control with Engineering Applications
Springer 2007; US$ 79.99Because the theoretical part of the book is based on the calculus of variations, the exposition is very transparent and requires mostly a trivial mathematical background. In the case of open-loop optimal control, this leads to Pontryagins Minimum Principle and, in the case of closed-loop optimal control, to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman theory which... more...
Nonsmooth Vector Functions and Continuous Optimization
Springer 2007; US$ 69.99Focusing on the study of nonsmooth vector functions, this book presents a comprehensive account of the calculus of generalized Jacobian matrices and their applications to continuous nonsmooth optimization problems and variational inequalities in finite dimensions. more...
Advances in Metaheuristics for Hard Optimization
Springer 2007; US$ 109.99Contains chapters which are organized into parts on simulated annealing, tabu search, ant colony algorithms, general-purpose studies of evolutionary algorithms, applications of evolutionary algorithms, and various metaheuristics. This book gathers contributions related to: theoretical developments in metaheuristics; and software implementations. more...
Nonparametric System Identification
Cambridge University Press 2008; US$ 70.00Overview of non-parametric system identification for nonlinear block-oriented systems for researchers and practitioners. more...
Aspects of Mathematical Modelling
Springer 2008; US$ 189.00The construction of mathematical models is an essential scientific activity. Mathematics has long been associated with developments in the exact sciences and engineering, but more recently mathematical modelling has been used to investigate complex systems that arise in many other fields. The contributors to this book demonstrate the application of... more...
