In fact, an increasing number of remarkably  efficient deterministic algorithms have been proposed in the last ten  years for solving several classes of large scale specially structured  problems encountered in such areas as chemical engineering, financial  engineering, location and network optimization, production and  inventory control, engineering design, computational geometry, and  multi-objective and multi-level optimization. \u003cbr\u003e  These new developments motivated the authors to write a new book  devoted to global optimization problems with special structures. Most  of these problems, though highly nonconvex, can be characterized by  the property that they reduce to convex minimization problems when  some of the variables are fixed. A number of recently developed  algorithms have been proved surprisingly efficient for handling  typical classes of problems exhibiting such structures, namely low  rank nonconvex structures. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e The book will serve as a fundamental reference book  for all those who are interested in mathematical optimization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-11-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461368359\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4098-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 460\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358916472972,"sku":"9781461368359","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461368359.jpg?v=1775681574","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461368359","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
