Such  problems are widespread in the mathematical modelling of real systems  in a very wide range of applications and the last 30 years have seen  the development of many new theoretical, algorithmic and computational  contributions which have helped to solve globally multiextreme  problems in important practical applications. \u003cbr\u003e  Most of the existing books on optimization focus on the problem of  computing locally optimal solutions. \u003cem\u003eIntroduction to Global\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eOptimization\u003c\/em\u003e, however, is a comprehensive textbook on  constrained global optimization that covers the fundamentals of the  subject, presenting much new material, including algorithms,  applications and complexity results for quadratic programming, concave  minimization, DC and Lipschitz problems, and nonlinear network flow.  Each chapter contains illustrative examples and ends with carefully  selected exercises, designed to help students grasp the material and  enhance their knowledge of the methods involved. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e Students of mathematical programming, and all  scientists, from whatever discipline, who need global optimization  methods in such diverse areas as economic modelling, fixed charges,  finance, networks and transportation, databases, chip design, image  processing, nuclear and mechanical design, chemical engineering design  and control, molecular biology, and environmental engineering. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 June 1995\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer US\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792335573\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e320\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578308944012,"sku":"9780792335573","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792335573.jpg?v=1780592387","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792335573","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
