Homogeneous Polynomial Forms for Robustness Analysis of Uncertain Systems
Springer 2009; US$ 129.00This book presents a number of techniques for robustness analysis of uncertain systems. The theoretical basis for their development is derived from the application of convex optimization tools to problems involving positivity of homogeneous polynomial forms. Usually, stability and performance analysis of dynamic systems affected by structured uncertainties,... more...
Stochastic Dynamic Programming and the Control of Queueing Systems
Wiley 2009; US$ 174.00A path-breaking account of Markov decision processes-theory and computation This book's clear presentation of theory, numerous chapter-end problems, and development of a unified method for the computation of optimal policies in both discrete and continuous time make it an excellent course text for graduate students and advanced undergraduates. Its... more...
Flexible Shift Planning in the Service Industry
Springer 2010; US$ 84.99The book presents new ideas to model and solve the flexible shift planning problem of personnel workers in the service industry. First, a new modeling approach is proposed that requires shifts to be generated implicitly rather than employing a predefined set of shift types like three 8-hour or two 12-hour shifts to cover varying forecast demand. The... more...
Nonlinear Analysis and Variational Problems
Springer 2010; US$ 169.00The chapters in this volume, written by international experts from different fields of mathematics, are devoted to honoring George Isac, a renowned mathematician. These contributions focus on recent developments in complementarity theory, variational principles, stability theory of functional equations, nonsmooth optimization, and several other important... more...
Forward-Looking Decision Making
Princeton University Press 2010; US$ 55.00Individuals and families make key decisions that impact many aspects of financial stability and determine the future of the economy. These decisions involve balancing current sacrifice against future benefits. People have to decide how much to invest in health care, exercise, their diet, and insurance. They must decide how much debt to take on, and... more...
Optimal Design and Related Areas in Optimization and Statistics
Springer 2010; US$ 99.99This edited volume, dedicated to Henry P. Wynn, reflects his broad range of research interests, focusing in particular on the applications of optimal design theory in optimization and statistics. It covers algorithms for constructing optimal experimental designs, general gradient-type algorithms for convex optimization, majorization and stochastic... more...
Optimization on Metric and Normed Spaces
Springer 2010; US$ 119.99Optimization on Metric and Normed Spaces is devoted to the recent progress in optimization on Banach spaces and complete metric spaces. Optimization problems are usually considered on metric spaces satisfying certain compactness assumptions which guarantee the existence of solutions and convergence of algorithms. This book considers spaces that do... more...
