QuickTime for .NET and COM Developers
Elsevier Science 2006; US$ 83.95At the heart of Apple's hugely popular iLife software suite?iMovie, iPhoto, iDVD, GarageBand, and iTunes?is QuickTime, the powerful media engine that drives elegant applications for managing movies, images, and audio files. The enduring success of QuickTime is in no small part attributable to its component architecture. This key feature has allowed... more...
Quadratic Programming and Affine Variational Inequalities
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 139.99Develops a unified theory on qualitative aspects of nonconvex quadratic programming and affine variational inequalities. The qualitative results can be used for dealing with algorithms and applications related to quadratic programming problems and affine variational inequalities. more...
Practical Mathematical Optimization
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2005; US$ 69.99Presents basic optimization principles and gradient-based algorithms to a general audience. This work pays attention to the difficulties - such as noise, discontinuities, expense of function evaluations, and the existence of multiple minima - that often unnecessarily inhibit the use of gradient-based methods. more...
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...
Variational Problems in Materials Science
Springer 2006; US$ 139.00Contains the proceedings of the international workshop Variational Problems in Materials Science. This book talks about the study of variational problems in materials science, how it has contributed a lot in shaping our understanding on how materials work and perform. It also talks about analytical techniques and of physical systems and phenomena. more...
Operations Research Proceedings 2005
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 159.99Contains a selection of 128 papers presented in lectures during the international scientific symposium "Operations Research 2005" (OR 2005) held at the University of Bremen, September 7-9, 2005. It attracted academics and practitioners working in various fields of Operations Research and provided them with the advances in Operations Research. more...
Approximate Dynamic Programming
Wiley 2007; US$ 137.00A complete and accessible introduction to the real-world applications of approximate dynamic programming With the growing levels of sophistication in modern-day operations, it is vital for practitioners to understand how to approach, model, and solve complex industrial problems. Approximate Dynamic Programming is a result of the author's decades of... more...
Topics on Concentration Phenomena and Problems with Multiple Scales
Springer 2006; US$ 64.99The study of variational problems showing multi-scale behaviour with oscillation or concentration phenomena are a challenging topic of very active research. This volume collects lecture notes devoted to the asymptotic analysis of such problems. more...
Integrated Methods for Optimization
Springer 2007; US$ 99.99Providing a modeling solution for optimization problems, this book integrates the key concepts of mathematical programming and constraint programming into a unified framework that allows them to be generalized and combined. It enables the creation of optimization methods that have much greater modeling power and increased computational speed. more...
Linear Programming and Its Applications
Springer 2007; US$ 139.99This book presents a unified treatment of linear programming. Without sacrificing mathematical rigor, the main emphasis of the book is on models and applications. The most important classes of problems are surveyed and presented by means of mathematical formulations, followed by solution methods and a discussion of a variety of "what-if"... more...
